Moderate consumption of alcohol may result in an increased risk of atrial fibrillation among individuals with heart disease and progressive diabetes, according to a study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ).
Dr. Koon Teo from McMaster University in Hamilton Ontario and team explained:
"Moderate to high alcohol intake was associated with an increased incidence of artial fibrillation among people aged 55 or older with cardiovascular disease or diabetes. Among moderate drinkers, the effect of binge drinking on the risk of atrial fibrillation was similar to that of habitual heavy drinking."
