Holiday Heart Syndrome-How Alcohol Ups The Risk

• Holidays are the time when people tend to indulge
  in parties and social get-togethers, and no event
  is complete without an excess of food and drinks.
  This is the reason why alcoholic drinks are a
  common part of holiday traditions, especially in
  the American culture. Thus, when drinking becomes
  the only purpose of any social event, it could be
  the sign of a serious problem.
• Not many people know that an indulgence in
  alcohol can be the root cause of a heart rhythm
  disorder known as atrial fibrillation. Commonly
  known as holiday heart syndrome (HHS), the
  condition is characterized by an abnormal heart
  rhythm, often triggered by excessive drinking or
  binge drinking. Even a person with or without a
  prior history of heart rhythm problems can
  experience HHS, after drinking too much of
  alcohol in a short timeframe.

HHS, A Life-Threatening Condition

• HHS was first described by Dr. Philip Ettinger in
  1978 as an association between the ingestion of
  excessive amount of alcohol and the onset of
  cardiac arrhythmias. Interestingly, the condition
  was found to occur frequently after weekends or
  public holidays, during which people consumed
  alcohol the most. However, HHS nowadays can also
  occur due to factors such as caffeine and an
  over-consumption of fatty meals filled with salt,
  apart from stress associated with the most
  important festivals, such as Thanksgiving,
  Hanukkah, Christmas and the New Years Eve.
• HHS can be serious when the patient starts
  experiencing heart attack-like symptoms, such as
  severe chest pain. It so happens that the
  excessive or heavy drinking causes the heart to
  beat irregularly, which in turn makes the user
  feel breathless. This further affects the blood
  pressure and increases the risk of heart attack
  and may even lead to death.

HHS, A Life-Threatening Condition

• The condition of HHS is commonly accompanied by
  atrial fibrillation (AF), in which the top
  chambers of the heart beat faster and in an
  irregular manner, causing palpitations,
  lightheadedness, shortness of breath, fatigue as
  well as chest pain. When consumed excessively,
  alcohol may short circuit the electrical system
  of the heart and even alter the electrolyte
  levels in the blood. As a result, excessive
  quantities of stress hormone (adrenaline and
  cortisol) are released into the blood, leading to
  AF. Notably, AF can be serious and can lead to
  stroke in high-risk patients.

Alcohol And Heart

• Heart diseases are not uncommon in alcoholics.
  According to a recent study, conducted by
  American College of Cardiology, alcohol abuse is
  responsible for an increased risk for various
  heart ailments, such as atrial fibrillation,
  congestive heart failure and heart attack.
• Excessive alcohol is directly linked with high
  blood pleasure, which is one of the key reasons
  for heart attack or stroke. Further, alcohol
  consumption is also associated with weight gain,
  which also increases the risk for various heart
  diseases. Drinking large amounts of alcohol
  disrupts the functioning of the heart by
  weakening its muscles, leading to cardiomyopathy,
  which can be life-threatening.

Fighting Alcohol Addiction

• Many people hooked on alcohol do not realize that
  post reclaiming sobriety, they might become a
  completely different person. Treatment for
  addiction to alcohol requires detoxification as
  the first step. Detox therapy under proper
  medical supervision prevents sudden withdrawal
  symptoms, relapse or any other severe
  consequences.
