Diagonal earlobe creases and atheromatous disease: a postmortem study.
The association between the grade of earlobe creases and degree of atheromatous disease was investigated in 376 postmortem examinations. Each earlobe crease was individually graded from 0 to 3. ⋯ The risk of death from myocardial infarction was 2.50 in men with high-grade creases and 3.70 in women. The earlobe crease is an important sign of atheromatous disease and it may be useful to include it in the clinical examination of patients.
