3. The study
Researchers in Japan studied the results from 37,000 men
and compared their findings with previous research linking hair
loss with heart trouble.
Balding men were 32% more likely to have coronary heart
disease.
Hair Restoration Blackrock welcomes the study’s scientific
findings. Dr Maurice Collins of Hair Restoration Blackrock
says: “The report has confirmed what has been suspected for
some time, that men with significant baldness are more prone
to the risks of cardiovascular disease, primarily coronary heart
disease.”

4. What HRBR is doing…
At HRBR, significant steps have been in place for many years to
establish the likelihood of heart problems linked to hair loss prior
to surgery.
All patients attending HRBR for surgery have a cardiovascular
risk factor profile carried out prior to surgery. This entails:
History & physical examination
An ECG
If there is any suspicion at all of any possible risk factors
associated with heart disease then the opinion of a specialist
cardiologist is obtained.

5. Lifestyle…
The researchers in the BMJ Open study concluded
that ‘the risks of heart disease because of male pattern
baldness were less than those for smoking or obesity’.
