Article Synopsis
- Frank's sign, a diagonal crease in the earlobe, was identified in 1973 as a potential indicator of coronary heart disease and associated conditions, and this study aimed to explore its link to ischemic stroke risk.
- The study included 241 patients admitted for acute ischemic stroke, finding that 78.8% exhibited Frank's sign, with different prevalence rates in those diagnosed with transient ischemic attacks versus cerebrovascular accidents.
- Results suggest that Frank's sign may serve as a predictive marker for ischemic cerebrovascular events, particularly among patients with existing cardiovascular risk factors.
