Some studies suggest that moderate alcohol consumption may provide cardiovascular benefits, while excessive or binge drinking can significantly harm the heart. Understanding the effects of alcohol on heart disease, blood pressure, and heart muscle function is essential for making informed decisions about alcohol intake.

Both forms of enlargement may compromise the heart’s ability to pump blood efficiently, leading to further complications like heart failure. What Causes an Enlarged Heart? High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Persistent high blood pressure forces the heart to work harder to pump blood.

What is a Heart Attack? A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, happens when an artery becomes blocked, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle. This blockage is often caused by a blood clot or the buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries, which supply the heart with oxygen-rich blood.

These harmful substances directly impact the heart and blood vessels in several ways: Reduced Oxygen Supply: Carbon monoxide, a byproduct of smoking, binds to hemoglobin in the blood, reducing its oxygen-carrying capacity. This forces the heart to work harder to supply oxygen to tissues and organs.

AFib occurs when the electrical signals in the upper chambers of your heart (the atria) become chaotic, causing the chambers to quiver instead of beating effectively. In some cases, AFib can also increase the risk of stroke, blood clots and heart failure. How Do You Know If You Have AFib?

If untreated, AFib can lead to or exacerbate heart failure, and it significantly increases a person’s risk of stroke. Catheter ablation was given the highest Class 1 treatment recommendation for appropriately selected patients, including those with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
