What are the mechanisms and incidence of alcohol-induced ventricular arrhythmias?
What are the mechanisms and incidence of alcohol-induced ventricular arrhythmias?
This review summarizes the mechanisms and incidence of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death associated with chronic alcohol overconsumption.
Clinicians should screen heavy drinkers for arrhythmia risk; leaves open prospective confirmation of mechanisms and incidence.
Chronic alcohol overconsumption increases the risk for sudden death presumably due to ventricular arrhythmias. This paper is a review of the mechanisms behind alcohol-induced arrhythmias and describe the incidence of alcohol-related ventricular arrhythmias.
