The Harm of Alcohol to Angina

Angina pectoris is a chest pain caused by insufficient blood supply to the coronary arteries. The harm of drinking alcohol to patients with angina pectoris includes increasing the number of angina attacks, not helping to relieve angina pectoris, and increasing the risk of other diseases. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Increasing the number of angina attacks

Alcohol increases the burden on the heart, increases the degree of myocardial hypoxia, and thus induces angina pectoris, and increases the number and duration of angina attacks.

2. Not helping to relieve angina

Alcohol makes it difficult for drugs such as nitroglycerin and isosorbide dinitrate to work, and angina pectoris cannot be controlled during angina attacks.

3. Increasing the risk of other diseases

Excessive drinking increases the risk of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, because drinking alcohol can lead to elevated blood lipid levels, causing atherosclerosis, and thus affecting heart health.
