Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, yet many people only notice the early warning signs when it is too late.
The heart doesn’t always call for help when we feel chest pain.
Sometimes it whispers – through subtle changes to its ears, its skin, and even its gait.
These silent signals are not just signs of aging – they can also be warning signs of coronary heart disease, circulatory disorders, or heart failure.
Here are 5 surprising physical signs that your heart could be in serious danger – and what you can do about it.
🔍 1. Frank’s sign: Slanted bend in the earlobe 🧓👂
You’ve probably seen it before – the diagonal line that runs from the top to the bottom of your earlobe.
This symptom, known as Frank’s sign, has been associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in more than 40 studies.
What does that mean:
A deep, diagonal crease in one or both earlobes
It’s not just skin aging – it can also be a symptom of loss of elasticity in blood vessels.
A stronger correlation is observed when the wrinkle appears before the age of 40.
