Abstract

Previous research suggests that lowmoderate alcohol consumption may have cardioprotective effects while heavy or bingepattern drinking is harmful New evidence and research methodology may inform safe thresholds of alcohol use This review examines recent evidence regarding alcohol’s effect on cardiovascular disease with a special consideration of pattern drink type and total quantityNew epidemiologic research confirms the potential harmful cardiovascular effects of heavy episodic alcohol use and does not support the previous observation that lowmoderate alcohol use protects against stroke Alcohol consumption also appears to have a continuous positive relationship with the risk of atrial fibrillation In addition Mendelian randomization analyses suggest that alcohol may have a direct causal role in adverse cardiovascular effects Recent studies have confirmed that heavy alcohol use 14 drinks per week in women and 21 drinks per week in men and heavy episodic drinking are associated with an increased risk of mortality
