    TLDR Baldness may indicate higher heart disease risk in men.
    This document summarizes several studies that suggest a link between androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) and an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in men. The studies found that men with AGA had higher levels of lipids, including lipoprotein (a), which is associated with atherosclerosis. The findings suggest that AGA may be a marker for increased risk of CHD in men, and dermatologists should advise AGA patients to consider their lipid profiles and consult a cardiologist if necessary.

      Key treatments for hair preservation include minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride, and microneedling, with additional options like specific shampoos, oils, biotin, zinc, tretinoin, clascoterone, and low-level laser therapy. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing stress, and addressing nutrient deficiencies can also support hair health.
