A new study has found that even consuming moderate amounts of alcohol can be a threat to the heart in women. The study presented at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session has revealed that young to middle-aged women who drank more than one alcoholic beverage per day were more likely to develop heart disease compared with those who drank less. The study has been done by researchers from Kaiser Permanente Northern California.
A total of 432,265 participants between 18 to 65 age were studied. The participants did not have a history of heart disease or stroke. The research team identified which patients had a diagnosis of coronary heart disease in the following 4 years.
