Does modest habitual alcohol intake of 1.2 drinks/day increase the risk of atrial fibrillation?
Even modest habitual alcohol consumption (1.2 drinks/day) is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation, which is an important consideration for primary prevention.
In contrast to other cardiovascular diseases such as HF, even modest habitual alcohol intake of 1.2 drinks/day was associated with an increased risk of AF, which needs to be considered in AF prevention.
