The association of alcohol intake with incident atrial fibrillation (AF) remains controversial, particularly among older adults. This study explores the association of alcohol intake with incident AF in older adults in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) cohort. Data were obtained from ARIC, a community-based cohort aimed to identify risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

- Mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI) is linked to poorer heart health outcomes in people with coronary artery disease, but how stress affects heart function is not fully understood.
- This study involved 735 patients and looked at their heart rate variability (HRV) during stress to see if low HRV indicates autonomic dysfunction associated with MSIMI.
- Results showed that patients with low HRV during stress had significantly higher odds of experiencing MSIMI, suggesting that stress-related autonomic dysfunction could contribute to heart issues in these patients.
