Correlation of Earlobe Crease and Clinically Identified Forehead Wrinkles with Severity of Coronary Artery Lesions in Patients with Stable Angina Pectoris

Abstract: Identification of high-risk subjects is crucial in prevention coronary heart disease. Ear lobe crease and forehead wrinkles are easily identifiable physical signs that could potentially be an indicator artery lesion severity. This study aimed to determine the relationship between earlobe morphology with severity stenosis patients stable angina pectoris using modified Gensini score. was observational a cross-sectional approach. All who met inclusion criteria were taken photos their area both right left ears. Assessment scores correlation analysis assessment modification later done. The results showed from total 40 subjects, 28 (70%) male. Forehead wrinkle mainly classified into score 1 2, totalling 32 (80%) patients. Earlobe form dominated by type A (65% vs 35%). Patients B on average have value 9 points lower than (reference) (p <0.001). As for non-zero scores, it clearly 4−5 units greater those zero However, sample size indeed too small (n=3) make difference meaningful (p=0.507). In conclusion, there significant positive identification but no strong pectoris, this case score.Keywords: angina; crease; wrinkles;
