The study was funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and involved 100 participants, most of whom were white males and 56 had at least one atrial fibrillation episode.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cContrary to a common belief that atrial fibrillation is associated with heavy alcohol consumption, it appears that even one alcohol drink may be enough to increase the risk,\u201d Dr. Gregory Marcus, professor of medicine in the Division of Cardiology at UCSF, said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur results show that the occurrence of atrial fibrillation might be neither random nor unpredictable,\u201d Marcus said. \u201cInstead, there may be identifiable and modifiable ways of preventing an acute heart arrhythmia episode.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Results also associated at least two drinks with an over three-fold increased risk of atrial fibrillation over the next four hours and identified a correlation between blood alcohol concentration and heightened risk of irregular heartbeat. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, \u201catrial fibrillation, often called AFib or AF, is the most common type of treated heart arrhythmia. An arrhythmia is when the heart beats too slowly, too fast, or in an irregular way.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/alcohol-heartbeart-01-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Young woman holds a glass of white wine. \" class=\"wp-image-19327992\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/alcohol-heartbeart-01-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/alcohol-heartbeart-01-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/alcohol-heartbeart-01-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>The findings, published in Annals of Internal Medicine, appear to contradict the perception that alcohol can be \u201ccardioprotective.\u201d<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Alamy Stock Photo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Researchers conducted the study by recruiting patients from cardiology outpatient clinics at UCSF, who had at least one alcohol drink per month. The study excluded people with a history of substance or alcohol use disorder, among others. Participants were tasked with wearing an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor for about four weeks, pressing a button upon consuming a standard-size alcoholic drink. They were also fitted with a recording alcohol sensor and periodically underwent blood tests indicating alcohol consumption over the prior weeks.<\/p>\n<p>According to UCSF, study participants averaged about one drink daily throughout the time under study.\u00a0 The study had its limitations, including the possibility that participants forgot to press the monitor, or neglected to do so \u201cdue to embarrassment,\u201d though sensor readings would\u2019ve been unaffected, per UCSF.
