What is the reason for the vertical stripes on the earlobe?

1, vertical stripes on earlobes are a problem for many people. In this case, we can't take it lightly, because it may indicate the existence of coronary heart disease, so if we find vertical stripes on the earlobe, we must go to the hospital for diagnosis first.

2. If it is coronary heart disease, it is necessary to carry out corresponding treatment according to the patient's condition in order to recover as soon as possible. If it is not coronary heart disease, then naturally don't worry too much.

3. Coronary artery is a blood vessel that provides oxygen and nutrition for the heart itself. Pay special attention when vertical lines appear in the earlobe, that is, the coronary sulcus! This represents the possibility of coronary atherosclerosis, especially in the left ear.

4. When the coronary artery of the heart has atherosclerotic lesions, the blood vessels gradually narrow, blocking the blood supply and oxygen needed by the myocardium, which will produce "angina pectoris". When myocardial ischemia reaches a serious level, myocardial cells begin to die, which is called "myocardial infarction". When coronary artery sclerosis leads to insufficient blood supply, the earlobe can't be supported by cartilage and ligament. The most direct response to ischemia is the atrophy of earlobe tissue, and a concave line extending from top to bottom will appear, which is called "coronary artery groove" ("coronary artery" is short for coronary artery). Because it is very similar to the earlobe crease, it is also called "ear fold sign"

5. The more severe the degree of coronary atherosclerosis, the more obvious the wrinkle of coronary heart groove. Myocardial infarction is a terrible invisible killer, but fortunately, you can see the omen from the earlobe.
