First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether moderate alcohol consumption (about one drink per day) affects heart function in people who recently had a heart attack. 220 participants will either drink moderately or abstain for 3 months, and their heart pumping ability will be measured by ultrasound. The goal is to see if there is any benefit or harm to the heart's recovery.
What this could mean

Active substance
alcohol consumption (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show whether moderate drinking helps or harms heart recovery after a heart attack, guiding future lifestyle advice.
What could go wrong
This is a small, short-term study (3 months) with only 220 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It cannot prove long-term effects or safety.
