Cardioprotective effect of moderate drinking: possible mediation by vital exhaustion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A curvilinear relationship between alcohol consumption and heart disease risk has often been demonstrated. A similar relationship was found between vital exhaustion (VE) and alcohol intake in 62 Japanese and 53 British healthy males. Vital exhaustion is a prodromal state for cardiac events. A possible connection between moderate social drinking, VE and heart disease is suggested.

The results generally supported our hypotheses by indicating that in its role as...
متن کاملLowering the alcohol content of red wine does not alter its cardioprotective properties.
BACKGROUND Many epidemiological, clinical and laboratory studies suggest that chronic and moderate consumption of red wine benefits cardiovascular health, because of the alcoholic content or the polyphenols/flavonoids. AIMS The antioxidant and cardioprotective properties of a French red wine (cabernet sauvignon, 12% alcohol by volume) were compared with those of the same wine subjected to rev...
متن کاملCardioprotective effects of light-moderate consumption of alcohol: a review of putative mechanisms.
There is abundant epidemiological and clinical evidence showing that light-moderate drinking is associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), total and ischaemic stroke and total mortality in middle-aged and elderly men and women. The epidemiological evidence suggests a J- or U-shaped relationship between alcohol and CHD. However, the apparent benefits of moderate drinking on ...
