DR MICHAEL MOSLEY: Moderate drinkers are at less risk of heart attacks than teetotallers

Frank Sinatra, famous for his heavy drinking, once said: Alcohol may be man s worst enemy, but The Bible says: Love your enemy. And that neatly encapsulates our love-hate relationship with booze. We know the dangers of heavy drinking, but most of us still get a lot of pleasure from a tipple.

For Younger MI Survivors, Stress Boosts Adverse Outcomes

May 13, 2021 Young and middle-age adults who survive an MI face a nearly twofold increase in MACE over the subsequent 5 years if they suffer from psychological distress after their initial event, observational data show. The association between psychological stress and subsequent events was attenuated after adjusting for markers of inflammation, such as monocyte chemoattract protein-1 (MCP-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). That finding, said lead investigator Mariana Garcia, MD (Emory University, Atlanta, GA), suggests “mechanisms involving inflammation may be implicated.” The study results are set to be presented next week at the American College of Cardiology 2021 Scientific Session. Much progress has been made over the past few decades in terms of reducing MI risk, but heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States. Moreover, the gains haven’t been as great in younger adults, who also tend to be more vulnerable to post-MI stress because they have a “h
