A Study of Correlation of Angiographic Evaluation of Coronary Artery Disease with Androgenetic Alopecia – TricoHeart Study

The TricoHeart study examined the link between androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and coronary artery disease (CAD) in 438 women under 55 years old. It found that female pattern baldness, particularly Grades II and III AGA, was more common in women with CAD, with 43.18% having Grade II and 34.09% having Grade III AGA. A significant association was noted between Grade III AGA and triple vessel disease. In contrast, 65.71% of women without CAD had Grade I AGA. The study concluded that female pattern baldness could indicate a higher risk of CAD events, emphasizing the need for further research with larger sample sizes to explore additional variables.
