    Younger male heart patients show higher rates of alcohol abstinence and heavy drinking compared to the general population. Beverage preferences, like hard liquor, shift with age and disease severity in cardiac patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Alcohol consumption is a significant factor in cardiovascular health.
    • Understanding drinking patterns in heart patients is crucial for targeted interventions.
    • Previous research has not fully detailed beverage preferences across different age groups of cardiac patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate alcohol consumption patterns and beverage preferences among patients with coronary heart disease.
    • To compare drinking habits of male and female heart patients with general population data.
    • To explore the relationship between age, alcohol intake, and coronary artery disease severity.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 3026 men and 760 women undergoing coronary arteriography.

  • Comparison of alcohol consumption (abstinence, heavy drinking) with age-matched general population reference groups.
  • Assessment of beverage preferences (hard liquor, wine) and correlation with age and coronary artery occlusion extent.

    • Main Results:

    • Younger male heart patients (<40 years) had more abstainers and heavy drinkers (≥6 drinks/day) than controls.
    • Older male patients (>60 years) showed the opposite trend compared to controls.
    • Hard liquor preference increased with age and coronary artery occlusion; wine was preferred by ~10% of male patients.
    • Female patients exhibited twice the prevalence of abstainers compared to male patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Alcohol consumption patterns in male heart patients vary significantly by age group.
    • Beverage preference, particularly for hard liquor, is associated with disease progression in cardiac patients.
    • Higher abstinence rates in women warrant further investigation into gender-specific cardiovascular risk factors.
