Meaning of signo de frank




Felipe Lorenzo del Río

signo de frank
  9

Controversial symptom of cardiovascular disease described in 1973 by American pulmonologist Saunders T Frank. It is a transverse groove in the earlobe that many people develop especially with age. Analyzing the bust, found in Italica, of Emperor Hadrian, the commentator noted that the artist reflected this sign in his earlobe, from which he deduced that Hadrian probably died of heart problems.
