Moderate alcohol consumption has cardioprotective properties and several mechanisms have been proposed. In over 4,000 men and women from the Whitehall II study, mean heart rate variability levels were lowest among those consuming the most alcohol per week, but in multivariate analyses no statistical associations were found. The cardiac autonomic nervous system is unlikely to explain much of the cardioprotective properties of alcohol.
适度饮酒具有心脏保护作用，并且已经提出了几种机制。在来自怀特霍尔二世研究的4000多名男性和女性中，每周饮酒量最多的人群中心率变异性水平最低，但在多变量分析中未发现统计学关联。心脏自主神经系统不太可能解释酒精的大部分心脏保护作用。
