At this time of the year
many people attend
social events and in
some instances, drink
alcoholic beverages. Most
people do not realize that
alcohol consumption has
an effect on the heart
that in rare cases may be
serious. Alcohol is a
depressant drug on most
tissues of the body. The
most apparent such
effect is on the brain and
nervous system. Several
unseen effects on the
heart are also very
important.
One of the effects of
alcohol on the heart is to
set the stage for extra
beating of the heart to
begin. Alcohol tends to
make the heart muscle
irritable, particularly if
the intake of alcohol is
excessive. The most
common extra beating is
the development of

614 Edmonds Lane, Suite 101
Lewisville, Texas 75067
ALCOHOL And
THE HEART
atrial fibrillation, a
condition in which the
top chambers of the
heart begin to beat very
rapidly. This then results
in a rapid, irregular heart
beat that may cause
shortness of breath,
dizziness, or even
passing out spells. In
fact, so common is this
irregularity associated
with or made worse by
alcohol that it is called
the “Holiday Heart”
syndrome.
A second much more
severe problem occurs
when there is weakening
of the heart muscle due to
repeated alcohol ingestion.
This condition, called
alcoholic cardiomyopathy,
results in congestive
heart failure with fluid
retention, shortness of
breath while walking,
and may proceed to
severe difficulty
breathing. Rare patients
may actually die from
the congestive heart
failure.
Because alcohol reduces
heart function, patients
with heart conditions
should be very careful if
they choose to drink
alcohol. Even small
amounts of alcohol may
depress heart function if
the muscle is already
weak. Likewise, if there
is a tendency for your
heart to develop
irregularity, alcohol
should be avoided.
In this holiday season,
many of us will consume
alcohol for pleasure.
Moderation is the key to
preventing the undesirable
effects of this behavior
from disrupting the season.
