ALCOHOL AND HF
Ethanol at higher doses is a cardiotoxin. Habitual
heavy alcohol consumption can result in a specic cardiac disease known as alcoholic cardiomyopathy, which accounts for about one-third
of all cases of nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy in the United States.33 Individuals who
consume more than 90 g of alcohol per day,
which corresponds to about 7 drinks per day,
for at least 5 years are at risk for the development
of alcoholic cardiomyopathy and HF. Without
complete abstinence, the 4-year mortality rate
for alcoholic cardiomyopathy can be as high as
50%, and it is a common cause of death among
long-term heavy drinkers.34 Importantly, cessation of alcohol consumption and treatment of
HF dramatically improve both cardiac function
and prognosis.33

specic component of a drink, is the primary factor for both conferring health benets and
causing toxicity, depending on the pattern of consumption and dosing.66,67 Accumulating scientic evidence suggests that light to moderate
alcohol intake may enhance insulin sensitivity,
elevate high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, reduce inammation, increase adiponectin,
and improve endothelial function (Figure 9).67-69
In a linear dose-dependent fashion, alcohol intake
increases HDL cholesterol (especially the cardioprotective HDL2 subfraction) and apolipoprotein
A-I.70 Alcohol intake is also linearly associated
with lipoprotein particle size (higher ethanol consumption is linked to larger low-density lipoprotein and HDL particles); however, a U-shaped
association is seen with particle number, whereby
consumers of 7 to 13 drinks per week had fewer
particles than abstainers or heavy drinkers.71
Light to moderate alcohol intake does not
appear to protect against coronary artery calcium
(CAC) accumulation, and although heavy consumption of hard liquor or beer was reportedly
associated with greater CAC accumulation, wine
intake was neutral for CAC.72 In the Cardiovascular Risk Survey, a multiethnic, community-based,
cross-sectional study of 14,618 people, consumption of less than 60 g/d was linked to less peripheral atherosclerosis, whereas consumption
of 60 g/d or more was associated with more
atherosclerosis.73
In the Pravastatin Inammation/CRP Evaluation Study, C-reactive protein levels were
lower in those with moderate alcohol intake
vs no or minimal alcohol intake. This antiinammatory effect persisted after adjustment
for multiple traditional CV risk factors, suggesting that moderate drinking may confer
cardioprotection in part by acting as an antiinammatory agent.74
Importantly, moderate alcohol consumption (1 or 2 drinks) increases insulin sensitivity
and glucose metabolism for the ensuing 12 to
24 hours.75 The biological mechanism whereby
alcohol improves insulin sensitivity appears to
involve suppression of fatty acid release from
adipose tissue and elevation of adiponectin
levels.76,77 This reduction in fatty acids decreases substrate competition in the Krebs cycle
of skeletal muscles, thereby facilitating glucose
metabolism.78 One or 2 drinks per day will
reduce triglycerides modestly (7%-10%) and
decrease abdominal obesity.79 Thereafter,

at low risk for addiction, moderate alcohol consumption was safe and did not lead to adverse
outcomes related to problem drinking.96 However, other studies indicate that among nondrinkers,
it is not possible to reliably predict who might be
at increased risk for falling into a pattern of
dangerously high alcohol intake once they begin
drinking.3,5 Indeed, habitual alcohol intake appears to be a slippery slope that many individuals cannot safely navigate; thus, the American
Heart Association cautions people not to start
drinking if they do not already consume alcohol.97 Furthermore, among the 16 million Americans who meet the diagnostic criteria for alcohol
abuse or dependence, only 1.5 million seek and
receive formal treatment, usually with discouragingly low rates of long-term abstinence.88 Heavy
long-term alcohol use increases the risks for
many malignancies, particularly cancers of the
gastrointestinal tract and liver.98 Additionally,
for women, even light to moderate alcohol intake
is associated with increased risk for breast cancer.99 Until we have more randomized outcome
data and tools for predicting susceptibility to
problem drinking, it would seem prudent to
encourage physicians and patients to focus on
more innocuous interventions to prevent CV
disease.
