Binge drinking may feel festive, but cardiologists warn it can quietly damage the heart, trigger dangerous rhythm disorders, raise blood pressure and increase the risk of heart failure and stroke, sometimes within just one night of excess.
Binge drinking poses significant risks to heart health, as highlighted in a recent India Today article. Cardiologists warn that excessive alcohol consumption can quietly damage the heart, trigger dangerous rhythm disorders, elevate blood pressure, and heighten the chances of heart failure and stroke—effects that may manifest after just one night of overindulgence.
The report draws attention to conditions like holiday heart syndrome, alcohol-induced atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure from alcohol, alcoholic cardiomyopathy, alcohol-triggered heart failure, and increased stroke risk. Keywords emphasize the broader impacts of alcohol on cardiovascular function, urging caution especially during festive periods.
