Alcohol enjoys widespread popularity in Western societies, with a prevalent belief that moderate consumption may confer cardioprotective benefits. Nevertheless, the adverse effects of excessive alcohol intake on cardiovascular health are well-documented . The term "" (HHS) is used to describe the manifestation of cardiac arrhythmias following a period of binge drinking, often observed during weekends and holidays. This association between cardiac arrhythmias and binge drinking was originally introduced by Ettinger et al., who observed 24 patients getting hospitalized with atrial fibrillation after engaging in a weekend binge of alcohol consumption. Subsequent research has demonstrated that HHS can also occur in individuals who rarely or never consume alcohol but occasionally engage in binge drinking.
酒精在西方社会广泛流行,人们普遍认为适度饮酒可能具有心脏保护作用。然而,过量饮酒对心血管健康的不良影响已有充分记录。“假日心脏综合征”(HHS)一词用于描述在一段狂饮期后出现的心律失常表现,这种情况常在周末和节假日出现。心律失常与狂饮之间的这种关联最初是由埃廷格等人提出的,他们观察到24名患者在周末狂饮酒精后因房颤住院。随后的研究表明,很少或从不饮酒但偶尔狂饮的人也可能发生假日心脏综合征。
