Can you drink red wine with atrial fibrillation?

Red wine is generally not recommended for people with atrial fibrillation. Red wine and other alcoholic beverages have different levels of alcohol content. Alcohol tends to stimulate the vegetative nerves, causing sympathetic excitation, which may worsen the condition of atrial fibrillation or increase the risk of atrial fibrillation. For AF patients who have undergone interventional ablation, alcohol consumption may also increase the chance of AF recurrence. According to statistics, people who drink alcohol over a long period of time and in larger amounts are about 30% more likely to develop AF than those who do not drink alcohol. Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence, aggravation or recurrence of atrial fibrillation, the intake of alcoholic beverages should be avoided. If atrial fibrillation occurs, you should consult a doctor for a clear diagnosis, cooperate with your physician for specific treatment, and avoid alcohol intake during treatment to prevent atrial fibrillation from worsening and causing danger.
