- When a coronary artery becomes obstructed, the body compensates by growing collateral arteries that branch around the blockage to maintain blood supply to the heart. — Earlobe Crease as a Heart Attack Predictor
- Chronic insufficient blood flow impairs the body's ability to maintain and expand its collateral arterial network. — Earlobe Crease as a Heart Attack Predictor
- Coronary artery disease causes arterial walls to thicken and elevates oxidative stress throughout the vascular system. — Earlobe Crease as a Heart Attack Predictor
- Regular aerobic exercise promotes angiogenesis and supports the collateral circulation compromised by coronary artery disease. — Earlobe Crease as a Heart Attack Predictor
