A member asked:
How much of a higher risk for heart disease does someone with franks sign (or the beginnings of it) have as opposed to the rest of the population?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Controversial: Some say that the risk of cardiovascular disease for people with Frank's sign is not significantly elevated. There appears to be no association in people who have diabetes. For others, the risk may be increased from your baseline risk by up to 1.5 times. See this review of the studies for and against a risk: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3448193/
