email article Despite the purported cardiovascular benefits of light drinking, small amounts of alcohol were still linked with incident atrial fibrillation (Afib) in a large observational study. Increased Afib risk was observed with just one daily drink containing 12 g ethanol (HR 1.16, 95% CI 1.11-1.22), whether the beverage was 120 mL of wine (four-fifths of one standard glass), 330 mL of beer (nearly a cans worth), or 40 mL of spirits (roughly one shot), reported Renate Schnabel, MD, o...

Experts have long considered heavy drinking a risk factor for a-fib. But studies have come to conflicting conclusions as to whether moderate drinking can contribute. The new findings, published online Jan. 13 in the European Heart Journal, build the case that it does.

Many of us look forward to relaxing with a tipple in the evening. But just one small glass of wine or a beer a day can increase the risk of a life-threatening irregular heartbeat, research suggests. People who drank every day were 17 per cent more likely to develop atrial fibrillation (AF), a common heart condition that causes an abnormally fast pulse. And the risk soared by 28 and 47 per cent for those who had up to two – or more than four drinks – respectively. Just one small glass of win...

Credit: European Heart Journal A study of nearly 108,000 people has found that people who regularly drink a modest amount of alcohol are at increased risk of atrial fibrillation, a condition where the heart beats in an abnormal rhythm. The study, published today (Wednesday) in the European Heart Journal [1], found that, compared to drinking no alcohol at all, just one alcoholic drink a day was linked to a 16% increased risk of atrial fibrillation over an average (median) follow-up time of near...

Having one small alcoholic drink a day raises the risk of developing an irregular heartbeat, a condition that causes dizziness and palpitations and leaves people more prone to strokes, a study has found. Researchers examined the heart health and drinking habits of 108,000 people aged 24 to 97 by combining records from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Italy that stretched over 14 years. Their analysis confirmed the long-held belief that a...
