Linear Increase in AF Incidence With Alcohol Consumption Even at Low Doses
This European study evaluated the relationship between alcohol consumption, cardiac biomarkers, and incident atrial fibrillation across the spectrum of alcohol intake.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Working Long Hours Linked to Higher Risk of Developing A-Fib
Researchers found that people who work long hours are more likely to develop atrial fibrillation, which could explain the previously observed increased risk of stroke among those working long hours.
Cardiovascular Event Risks Higher in Black Patients with A-Fib
Black patients are twice as likely to suffer stroke, heart failure and death than whites with atrial fibrillation.
Rising Hospitalizations Seen for Atrial Fibrillation
However, patients with the condition are also more likely to survive, researchers say.
Risk of A-Fib Found with Moderate, Regular Alcohol Consumption
The risk of atrial fibrillation increases by 8% for each daily alcoholic drink.
Anticoagulation May Not Always Be Needed in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
This study has observed that if atrial fibrillation episodes are brief, the risk of stroke is low.
