Could a Diagonal Earlobe Crease Signal Heart Health?
A diagonal earlobe crease, known as Frank’s sign, may be linked to higher cardiovascular risk, but it is not a diagnosis. Doctors say it should be seen as a possible clue alongside standard risk assessments and tests. If you notice a crease, discuss it with your physician, while continuing heart‑healthy habits (managing blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, weight, activity, and smoking) and pursuing appropriate evaluations based on your overall risk profile.
