Abstract

Background: Prevalence rate of CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE (CAD) is high and the trend is increasing. Diagonal EAR LOBE CREASE (ELC) has been introduced as a diagnostic physical sign for CAD and the aim of this study was to evaluate the association between ELC and CAD in whom were candidates for angiography. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, 106 consecutive patients were studied in three hospitals in Tehran for presence of ELC and CAD. ELC was categorized based on ISHII CLASSIFICATION and CAD was defined based on angiography. The colleagues who visited candidates did not know patients' final diagnoses. The presence of ELC in both patients and control groups was analyzed with chi square test and odds ratio in sample was calculated and confidence interval was estimated in population with probability of 95%. Results: The study was conducted on 106 consecutive persons. The average age was 50.1±14.1 years. Sixty six percent were men and 34 percent women. Fifty seven individuals (53.8%) had CAD. In persons without CAD, 13 (26.5%) had ELC and in CAD patients, 34 persons (59.7%) had ELC (P<0.0001). CAD patients had 4.1 times exposure with ELC in comparison of controls and confidence interval was estimated 1.8-9.2.Conclusions: The presence of ELC is associated with CAD. Future diagnostic researches are suggested to determine the strength of this marker.
