Most of us does not pay too much attention to his ears, but according to experts we should change it. Many studies have pointed out that people with a significant fold on the lobes are at a greater risk of developing a serious heart disease ,. If you notice this symptom in your ears, you should be examined.
Unusual fold on the ear
For the first time you are this one An unusual link was noticed by Dr. Sanders T. Frank, who watched patients with angina pectoris in his study. that each of the 20 people he treated for this condition also had a so -called diagonal fold of the ear lobe (DELC). The symptom that the scientific community later called “Frank’s sign” is Characterized by an unusual fold of pulling to the distant side of the lobe.
It is assumed that It is due to the loss of elastic fibers in the skin, but according to many studies, this may also be a warning signal of the development of cardiovascular disease. The end arteries facilitate the blood supply to the heart and to the ears and after the interruption of this contact cannot be replaced by any other blood vessels. That can cause damage to vital tissues.

The connection has been confirmed by several studies
has confirmed this hypothesis, with Scientists have found that the folds on the ear lobes are related to an increased risk of ischemic heart disease and heart attack. Further research from 2017 that followed this correlation, also supported this idea. “Patients with classic cardiovascular risk factors had Frank’s sign more often,”.
He revealed that people with folds on the ear lobes usually also had low levels of adropine and irisin. They assumed that A decrease in the levels of these hormones could cause atherosclerosis, narrowing of arteries that increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. from the same year also indicated that Patients with DELC also have a low level of hormone known as cloth that slows down the aging process.
According to Tim Chic, a professor at the English University of Sheffield, The fold on the ear lobe in no way confirms future heart problems. However, it is at least a reason to think.
“Cardiovascular disease not only affect the heart but all the blood vessels in the body and all the organs. They increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, but also kidney disease and even dementia. If we see a DELC in the patient, it does not change anything. The risk Reduce by not smoking, maintain a healthy weight and exercise regularly“he advised.
