AB  -  Alcohol intake is associated with increased oxidative stress that not only
affects the liver but also affects other systems. While some studies demonstrate
that moderate drinking is associated with decreased cardiovascular risk, the intake of toxic amounts of alcohol is associated with a greater incidence of vascular
events. Alcohol can affect the cardiovascular system in several ways: 1. Heavy
alcohol intake is associated with cardiomyopathy, usually of the dilated phenotype. This process is reversible with ethanol withdrawal or even reduction in alcohol intake 2. It is associated with arrhythmias (usually atrial fibrillation), especially
when binge drinking. 3. It seems to be a risk factor for hypertension. 4. It is probably related to increased atheromatosis and vascular injury. In this review we will
discuss the evidence regarding beneficial and deleterious effects of alcohol intake
on the cardiovascular system.
