Take heart – scientists say they may have found a way to prevent irregular heart rhythms caused by too much drinking, a phenomenon so common at Christmas that it’s called “holiday heart syndrome”.<\/p>\n
They will present their research this week at an American Heart Association conference in Chicago.<\/p>\nBinge drinking \u2014 defined as five drinks within two hours for men and four drinks within two hours for women \u2014 can sometimes cause an irregular heartbeat. H_Ko \u2013 stock.adobe.com<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n“Around the holidays, opportunities for celebration\u2014often accompanied by heavy drinking\u2014occur over a short period of time,” explained lead study author Saugat Khanal, a postdoctoral researcher at Ohio State University.<\/p>\n
“Unfortunately, this sometimes sends entertainers, even those with no previous heart disease, to the hospital with a beating or abnormal heart,” he added.<\/p>\n
Atrial fibrillation, also known as AFib, is the most common type of arrhythmia, which is the scientific name for a heartbeat that is too slow, too fast, or otherwise irregular. The condition can increase the risk of stroke and heart failure.<\/p>\n\n<\/aside>\nAtrial fibrillation is the most common type of arrhythmia, which is the scientific name for a heartbeat that is too slow, too fast, or otherwise irregular.

Repeated heavy drinking – which is defined as five drinks within two hours for men and four drinks within two hours for women – can lead to high blood pressure, liver disease, increased risk of cancer and serious arrhythmias.<\/p>\n
Now, Khanal’s team says it has identified a heart-protective molecule that can prevent the activation of a stress-induced protein in the heart that has been shown to lead to AFib.<\/p>\n
In their experiments, the researchers tried to simulate the human holiday heart syndrome in mice. They found that the treatment they created with the molecule Alda-1 reduced the increase in stress proteins associated with heavy drinking and the resulting irregular heartbeat.<\/p>\n
“Studies using larger animals will be a future direction to translate our exciting findings into clinical applications,” Khanal said.<\/p>\n

Khanal’s findings still need to be peer-reviewed before they can be published in a scientific journal.<\/p>\n
A separate study also presented this week warns premenopausal and menopausal women receiving hormone replacement therapy against drinking alcohol because it can worsen heart function.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
