you raise an interesting question. thank you for asking it! "frank's sign" is the term for a crease fold or wrinkle on one or both earlobes. the term "frank's sign" is named for dr. sanders t. frank the person who originally questioned the correlation between the earlobe crease and coronary artery disease (cad). numerous studies have been done to try to see if people with a creased earlobe are really at higher risk of developing cad. the results of the studies have been mixed. there is no definitive answer yet as to whether a person with frank's sign is truly at higher risk for developing cad. that said there is enough possible correlation that it is worth talking to your doctor about your cad risk. regardless of whether or not frank's sign does indicate increased risk it is simple enough to get a cholesterol screening diabetes screening and overall cardiovascular fitness evaluation. these tests are proven to indicate cad risk so you can rely on them. wishing you well!
