Frequent and excessive consumption of alcohol, be it episodic or sustained misuse, ranks among the top causes of mortality globally. This comprehensive analysis seeks to elucidate how alcohol misuse precipitates death, with a particular focus on associated cardiac anomalies. Notably, the phenomenon of "Holiday Heart Syndrome", linked to binge drinking, is recognized for inducing potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias. Moreover, persistent alcohol consumption is implicated in the development of alcoholic cardiomyopathy, a condition that underlies heart failure and arrhythmic disturbances of the heart. Additionally, individuals undergoing withdrawal from alcohol frequently exhibit disruptions in normal heart rhythm, posing a risk of death. This review further delves into additional alcohol-related mortality factors, including the heightened likelihood of hypertension, cerebrovascular accidents (strokes), and the connection between excessive alcohol use and Takotsubo syndrome.
频繁且过量饮酒，无论是偶尔的暴饮还是持续的滥用，都是全球主要死因之一。这项综合分析旨在阐明酒精滥用如何导致死亡，尤其关注相关的心脏异常。值得注意的是，与暴饮相关的“假日心脏综合征”现象，因可诱发潜在致命的心律失常而为人所知。此外，持续饮酒与酒精性心肌病的发生有关，酒精性心肌病是心力衰竭和心脏心律失常紊乱的基础。此外，正在戒酒的人常常出现正常心律紊乱，有死亡风险。本综述进一步深入探讨其他与酒精相关的死亡因素，包括高血压、脑血管意外（中风）风险增加，以及过量饮酒与应激性心肌病之间的联系。
