Aims The potential effect of alcohol consumption on coronary heart disease (CHD) remains
unclear. We used the variant rs671 in the aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 gene (ALDH2) as an …

BACKGROUND: Observational studies suggest that moderate alcohol consumption may
lower risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and coronary heart disease (CHD); yet, evidence for …

BACKGROUND: Moderate alcohol consumption is known to be protective against coronary
heart disease (CHD). However, the INTERHEART study, a case–control study of acute …

Aims To explore the causal effect of long-term alcohol consumption on coronary heart
disease risk factors. Methods and results We used variants in ADH1B and ADH1C genes as …

Light-to-moderate alcohol consumption is believed to be protective against coronary artery
disease (CAD) in many studies. However, the cardioprotective effects of alcohol intake lack …

Background Ample evidence exists for a protective effect of moderate alcohol consumption
on cardiovascular risk. Recently, genotype of alcohol dehydrogenase 1C (ADH1C) has …

The association between excess alcohol consumption and increased cardiovascular risk is
well established. By contrast, numerous observational studies have reported that light-to …

Moderate alcohol consumption has been associated with lower coronary artery disease
(CAD) risk. However, data on the CAD risk associated with high alcohol consumption are …

Background: The causal role of alcohol consumption for cardiovascular disease remains
unclear. We used Mendelian randomization (MR) to predict the effect of alcohol …

Background—An inverse association between moderate alcohol consumption and coronary
heart disease (CHD) has been observed in several epidemiological studies. To assess …
