Can Alcohol cause heart rhythm disorders or Arrhythmias?
Alcohol can affect the heart's electrical system, leading to arrhythmias or rhythm disorders.
Arrhythmias are irregular heartbeats that can be dangerous or even life threatening.
The more alcohol you drink, the more likely you are to develop arrhythmias.
Even moderate drinking can increase your risk.
Two types of arrhythmias that can be caused by alcohol:
• Atrial fibrillation: A common arrhythmia that causes the heart's upper chambers to beat irregularly. This can be a nuisance, but it is usually not life-threatening.
• Ventricular fibrillation: A life-threatening arrhythmia that causes the heart's lower chambers to beat chaotically. This can lead to cardiac arrest.
If you have arrhythmias, it is important to avoid alcohol.
