Frank’s sign - a dermatological link to coronary artery disease?
Lee, Kian-Guan1.
Frank’s sign, also known as diagonal earlobe crease (DELC),
was observed to be an aural sign of coronary artery disease
(CAD). Since then, there has been much interest in
examining this unique and controversial association. This
report describes a patient who has bilateral complete and
deep diagonal ear lobe creases, presented with angina and
diagnosed to have coronary artery disease on angiography.
The characteristics of the sign and its association with
atherosclerotic disease were discussed.
