A member asked:
Im 19 and have noticed an earlobe crease in 1 of my ear.does it mean i have coronary artery disease now? how likely is it to get in your early 20s?

Not necessarily: Although an association may exist between an earlobe crease and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Frank's Sign...this is not diagnostic. Unless you have diabetes or a strong family history, unlikely to have significant CAD at your age. I would recommend a visit with your primary doctor to discuss and consider potential bloodwork.
