April 26, 2021 A population-based screening program for atrial fibrillation (AF) improved clinical outcomes in 75- and 76-year-olds living in two regions of Sweden, the randomized STROKESTOP shows. Over more than 5 years of follow-up, risk of the combined primary endpoint of ischemic stroke, systemic thromboembolism, all-cause mortality, hemorrhagic stroke, or hospitalization for bleeding was significantly lower in the group invited for screening (HR 0.96; P = 0.045), according to Emma Svennberg, MD, PhD (Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden). The number of people who would have to be invited for screening in order to prevent one event is 91, she reported last week during the virtual European Heart Rhythm Association Congress 2021. ....
email article Despite the purported cardiovascular benefits of light drinking, small amounts of alcohol were still linked with incident atrial fibrillation (Afib) in a large observational study. Increased Afib risk was observed with just one daily drink containing 12 g ethanol (HR 1.16, 95% CI 1.11-1.22), whether the beverage was 120 mL of wine (four-fifths of one standard glass), 330 mL of beer (nearly a can s worth), or 40 mL of spirits (roughly one shot), reported Renate Schnabel, MD, of University Heart & Vascular Center Hamburg, Germany, and colleagues. Even very low alcohol consumption, at 2 g per day, was marginally associated with Afib risk over nearly 14 years of follow-up (HR 1.02, 95% CI 1.0-1.04), they wrote in the ....
Many of us look forward to relaxing with a tipple in the evening. But just one small glass of wine or a beer a day can increase the risk of a life-threatening irregular heartbeat, research suggests. People who drank every day were 17 per cent more likely to develop atrial fibrillation (AF), a common heart condition that causes an abnormally fast pulse. And the risk soared by 28 and 47 per cent for those who had up to two – or more than four drinks – respectively. Just one small glass of wine or a beer a day can increase the risk of a life-threatening irregular heartbeat, research suggests (file image) ....
