Purpose of this study was to evaluate of carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) with biochemical parameters in early-onset androgenetic alopecia (AGA) male patients without risk factors for cardiovascular disease and to reveal the relationship between early-onset AGA and cardiac arrhythmia, atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome in patients with P wave and QT dispersion in electrocardiography. 40 men with early onset AGA and 50 healty men without AGA in theage of 18-35 were included in this study.We compared the biochemical values, blood pressure, carotid intima media thickness (CIMT), echocardiographic(echo) and electrocardiographic (ECG) parameters. The mean age was 28,03±4,95/years and the mean CIMT was 0,63±0,12 cm in the group with early onset AGA. The mean age was 28,95±5,03 /years and the mean CIMT was 0,51±0,1 cm in the control group. CIMT were correlated with AGA (p<0,05). The mean HOMA-IR was 2,35±1,97 in the patients group and the mean of healty group was 1,85±1,65. HOMA-IR is related with early onset AGA (p<0.05). On the other hand, echo and ECG parameters were not correlated with early onset AGA. The relationship between CIMT, HOMA-IR and early onset AGA may indicate that premature atherosclerosis is presence in these patients. However, since clinical conditions of atherosclerosis may appear in early onset AGA, appropriate screening methods should be used.
