What Does 30% Blockage In The Artery Indicate?
Question: Had a ultrasound on my left artery is about 30% blocked is that anything I should worry about then someone told me about a crease I had in my ear and said you have heart problems is that true
Brief Answer:
NO concern!
Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
A narrowing 70% or more needs invasive study – angiogram – with a view for intervention
30% narrowing has no clinical significance, whatever
There were a few old articles on ear lobe deformity or crease. They have not been authenticated by subsequent studies…. You may read –

Forget it and enjoy life!
See your Internist / get investigated for treatable risk factors for vascular (heart) disease.. to reassure yourself
Good luck
God bless you
