Don't underestimate the horizontal lines on your earlobes

As people get older, a horizontal line may appear behind the earlobe, extending from the ear opening to the outside. Don't underestimate this small wrinkle, because the appearance of such a wrinkle may indicate that the patient has arteriosclerosis and cardiac ischemia. Research by some scientific researchers has shown that it is directly related to arterial abnormalities. Therefore, when this phenomenon occurs, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

Don't underestimate the horizontal lines on your earlobes

Scientific researchers have done a lot of statistics to show that small wrinkles on the earlobes are related to arterial abnormalities. The appearance of wrinkles on the earlobe is a local manifestation of the ongoing process of expansion of the diseased artery. The earlobe is made up of fat and connective tissue on the ear. It has no cartilage and is the only fleshy part of the ear.

When arteries become hardened, the ears, like all other tissues, receive less blood. The earlobes are the extremities of the body and are quite sensitive to ischemia, so wrinkles appear on the earlobes. American scholars have discovered that almost all people who died of coronary heart disease had a wrinkle on their earlobe. When coronary artery angiography was performed on those with earlobe wrinkles, it was found that 90% of them suffered from coronary heart disease.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes

"The ear is the controller of the heart", and it is believed that the ear and meridians have a very close connection. The twelve meridians all pass through the ear directly or indirectly, so there is a saying that "the ear is where the main meridians gather." In the ear acupoint map, the earlobe is the main heart position. If there are horizontal lines, diagonal lines, etc. at this position, it is considered a possible cause of heart disease. When your ears start to develop earlobe wrinkles, please check your heart in time.

However, earlobe wrinkles can serve as a skin manifestation or precursor of coronary heart disease, but it cannot be generalized. The presence of earlobe wrinkles does not necessarily mean coronary heart disease. At this time, you need to seek medical attention in time for a clear diagnosis. Even if coronary heart disease is not diagnosed, you should not take it lightly and should actively take appropriate measures to prevent coronary heart disease.
