There is an interesting predictor of a heart attack that you can look for right now. Go to the mirror and look for a crease on your ear lobe, starting where the hole is and coming out 45 degrees. Coronary artery disease or cardiovascular disease causes you to lose blood flow to the heart muscle.

Without this blood supply to the ear lobes, you can develop this crease. This crease shows up in about 71% of people with heart disease.
