MOSCOW, Aug 4 Diseases of the cardiovascular system can be diagnosed by the condition of the lobe ear, follows from the material Express. For the first time, Dr. Sander Frank drew attention to the feature, so it is called «Frank's symptom.» He noticed it in patients with chest pain and blocked coronary arteries. A wrinkle in the earlobe is a sign of a possible disease. The conclusion of the specialist is confirmed by some studies. However, it should be noted that the presence of this symptom does not necessarily indicate a disease. An explanation for the appearance of a fold can be the loss of elasticity that occurs due to damage to blood vessels in coronary heart disease.
