Could a wrinkle on your ear warn of heart trouble?
NCT ID NCT07427745
Summary
This study looked at whether a diagonal crease on the earlobe (called Frank's sign) is more common in smokers. Researchers compared 404 middle-aged adults who were smokers, former smokers, or non-smokers. The goal was to see if this simple, visible sign could help doctors quickly identify people at higher risk for heart disease.
