I heard that a crease in the ear lobe is a risk factor for heart attack. Is that true?

Years ago I read that there was a statistical relationship between a crease in the earlobe (found in older people) and hear attack. I wonder if that is still being circulated as true. Is it true?

Yes that is true and medically recognized, though there is some controversy as to why it occurs. Most studies give a correlation of 70 to 80%. The crease is found at the bottom part of the ear. It is a diagonal crease running from where the ear is attached, starting at the opening, sloping downward toward a person's spine.

Here's some recent literature
"It was found that ear lobe crease (ELC) was strongly correlated with CAD in both men and women (P < 0.0001) but with sudden cardiac death only in men (P < 0.04). The sensitivity of the ELC sign was 75% and the positive predictive value (ppv) was 68%. In individuals below 40 years, the ppv was as high as 80%."
