In this observational study, men with early onset androgenic alopecia exhibited a statistically significant correlation with more severe forms of coronary artery disease compared to those without the condition.

This review discusses testosterone replacement therapy, highlighting that most studies report no increased myocardial infarction risk when the therapy is properly administered with controlled hormone levels; it calls for careful consideration despite insurance coverage challenges.

This review discusses various sex hormones and related compounds, including estrogens and anabolic steroids, but reports no new findings; it highlights existing literature from 2014 regarding their use and effects.

This article notes that hair restoration surgery generally has a complication rate of less than 1%, but highlights rare instances of serious cardiovascular events.

This letter to the editor raises concerns about minoxidil, an arterial vasodilator also used for androgenic alopecia, noting that overdose can cause severe side effects such as distributive shock, pulmonary edema, and myocardial ischemia.

This study found that early-onset male androgenetic alopecia was associated with a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome compared to age-matched controls.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had significantly higher troponin I levels compared to those with female pattern hair loss and healthy controls, suggesting an association with cardiovascular diseases.

This review observes higher ACE2 expression in myocardial and lung tissues of heart failure and COPD patients but finds no link between RAAS inhibitors and COVID-19 severity.

This study observed that a 13-month-old cat experienced transient myocardial thickening and congestive heart failure episodes likely due to minoxidil intoxication, coinciding with contact with a family member using the drug, suggesting environmental exposure may trigger cardiac events in pets.

This study found that FGF-9 treatment in diabetic mice improved heart function after myocardial infarction by decreasing monocyte infiltration and promoting anti-inflammatory macrophage differentiation.

This review compiles existing research on ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) as a biomarker for myocardial ischemia, highlighting current gaps in understanding its formation and detection, with no new clinical results reported.

This study observed that patients with alopecia areata had decreased odds of developing stroke and a potential decreased risk of acute myocardial infarction, though the latter was not statistically significant.

This study found no significant difference in the ability of ischemia modified albumin and exercise electrocardiograms to determine myocardial ischemia in patients with stable angina pectoris.

This study found that compound 3 derived from aza-bicyclo-carboxylic acid may exert a cardioprotective effect by reducing infarction area in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, potentially involving A1-adenosine receptor activation and changes in cAMP levels.

This study found that real-time 2-D Doppler echo of intracardiac blood flow helps evaluate myocardial infarction severity, with persistent late systolic inflow indicating worse left ventricular function.

In this review, researchers highlighted the pivotal role of the epicardium in heart regeneration and repair, particularly through its cellular programs and signaling during myocardial infarction, though they noted challenges in replicating these processes in nonregenerative mammals, suggesting pathways for innovative cardiovascular therapies.

In a population-based study, over 72,000 older men were examined, and dutasteride showed no increased risk of heart failure, myocardial infarction, or stroke compared to finasteride, as reported by the researchers.

This case report describes a 31-year-old woman who developed transient heart failure during the acute phase of Kawasaki disease, highlighting that it can cause myocardial dysfunction in adults.

This review summarizes advancements in stem cell technologies, highlighting their effectiveness in disease treatment and tissue reconstruction for conditions such as nerve palsy and myocardial infarction, supported by pre-clinical and clinical studies.

This meta-analysis found that patients with alopecia areata, particularly those with more extensive forms like alopecia totalis and universalis, may face a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, though no links were found with specific conditions like ischemic stroke or myocardial infarction.

This study found that rat hair-follicle-associated pluripotent stem cells can be successfully differentiated into beating atrial and ventricular cardiomyocytes by using specific combinations of growth factors and inhibitors in culture, demonstrating their potential to form functional myocardial fibers similar to adult heart cells.

This review explores the role of JAG1 in disease treatment, highlighting the need for effective methods to deliver JAG1 in its bound form to activate NOTCH signaling for therapeutic applications in craniofacial bone loss and myocardial infarction.

Among adult male rats, this study found that combined exposure to lithium carbonate and lead acetate over 28 days led to synergistic cardiotoxic effects, evidenced by oxidative stress, ECG abnormalities, and molecular markers of increased apoptosis, despite no observable structural damage to myocardial tissue.

This study observed early cardiac effects in young minipigs following high-dose doxorubicin chemotherapy, with a decrease in heart function and changes in cardiac MRI measurements compared to controls.

This case report highlights the first known instance of ANA-negative systemic lupus erythematosus presenting as spontaneous coronary artery dissection, emphasizing a need for rheumatological evaluation in such patients.

Minoxidil can cause heart muscle damage in dogs.

This review discusses the benefits and cardiovascular risks of androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer patients, noting that optimizing cardiovascular risk factors is important when using ADT.

This review discusses the role of Wnt signaling in cardiac development and explores attempts to modulate it for improving heart function after ischemic injury, but reports no new experimental results.

This study suggests that a biomaterial-based approach using microneedles and ion solutions to deliver SiO3 2− ions may disrupt inflammatory cycles and improve outcomes in inflammatory dilated cardiomyopathy (iDCM).

This study reports the first case of diverse medium-sized visceral arterial aneurysms in a patient with functionally impaired A20, potentially linked to HA20, and its atypical presentation in East Asia.
