I spent many years taking care of patients with heart attacks,angioplasty,and by-pass surgery,Virtually everyone of them had the earlobe crease.
At same time I’ve had friends with the crease,had heart caths with no significant blockages.
One old man I was friends with had severe creases but little coronary artery disease,he did have femoral artery bypass,though.
Anyone that has earlobe creases show up,they should have a work-up.
BIL had ear creases,had a mild stroke and carotid endartectomy few weeks ago,heart cath showed minimal disease.

Got one crease on my right earlobe.
Mid 50s, work out regularly, no symptoms, no health conditions, take no medications.
Wonder how I’m doing in terms of cardiovascular risk.
Let’s hope there’s no widow-maker.

Thank you for the informative take.
