Beer-induced angina pectoris

Abstract Moderate alcohol consumption is associated with reduced morbidity and mortality from coronary heart disease. However, alcohol has been reported to provoke myocardial ischemia in some cases. We report a 60-year-old man with beer-induced myocardial ischemia, which was clearly proved by beer-s...

Description
Summary:Abstract Moderate alcohol consumption is associated with reduced morbidity and mortality from coronary heart disease. However, alcohol has been reported to provoke myocardial ischemia in some cases. We report a 60-year-old man with beer-induced myocardial ischemia, which was clearly proved by beer-stress electrocardiography and beer-stress thallium-201 scintigraphy. < Learning objective: Myocardial ischemia can be induced by alcohol, which was clearly shown by beer-stress electrocardiography and thallium-201 scintigraphy in our case.>
