The social cost of alcoholism is staggering. Alcohol has caused the loss of millions of working days, which is directly related to many industrial accidents and is usually a factor of suicide. The victims of alcohol are often other innocent people, not the drinkers themselves. For example, drunk driving shows indifference to human life, not only to the driver and his passengers, but also to the lives of innocent people.
There are different opinions about whether alcohol is beneficial or harmful to the cardiovascular system. Some alcoholics drink more and more on the grounds that alcohol can pass through blood vessels, and their addiction to alcohol is growing. There is a qualitative and quantitative problem of not knowing the benefits of alcohol on cardiovascular system, that is, drinking a small amount of low-alcohol is beneficial to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, while drinking a large amount is harmful to health.
Some experts believe that a small amount of drinking is like a disease, but it is really a waste of time. Puxi? Hey? A little bottle friend? Brown pheasant DL-C (high density lipoprotein cholesterol) is related to the inhibition of platelet aggregation. Among many liquors, red wine is superior to white wine and other liquors in preventing cardiovascular diseases. As for the amount of alcohol consumed, it is best not to exceed 50 ml per day.
It is reversible that the systolic function of healthy people can be reduced after drinking alcohol. In addition, drinking alcohol can also accelerate the heart rate and dilate peripheral blood vessels, which is unfavorable to some patients with cardiovascular diseases.
Some healthy people may have supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmia after drinking a lot. Because it mostly happens after drinking heavily on holidays, this syndrome is called "holiday heart disease", which is caused by alcohol and sympathetic nerve excitement, and can gradually return to normal after abstinence.
Long-term heavy drinking will lead to heart failure, which is characterized by enlarged ventricles and low left ventricular systolic function. The appearance and regression of pathological changes are related to drinking. When you stop drinking, heart failure can be improved or at least not further deteriorated, but it will recur after drinking again. If this happens repeatedly, it will cause irreversible damage to the myocardium, even after abstinence, there will be progressive deterioration of cardiac function, which will lead to "alcoholic cardiomyopathy".
In addition, the incidence of atrial fibrillation in alcoholics is also high. This kind of atrial fibrillation caused by alcoholism can be reversed or stabilized if alcohol can be stopped early. Alcohol is a food with pure heat energy. Long-term heavy drinking will increase weight, affect the process of glucose metabolism in the body and increase the production of triglycerides. Obesity and hyperlipidemia are both risk factors for coronary heart disease. Therefore, long-term heavy drinking will increase the prevalence and mortality of coronary heart disease in heavy drinkers.
It is not difficult to see that drinking a small amount of low-alcohol wine has positive significance for preventing cardiovascular diseases; Drinking a lot of hard liquor for a long time is extremely harmful to health. In view of the harm of drinking to digestive system, central nervous system and reproductive system, and a series of traffic and social problems that may be caused by drinking, relevant experts suggest not to take moderate drinking as one of the measures to prevent cardiovascular diseases.
