Alcohol consumption can be the cause of several diseases. Depending on the frequency and quantity, the consumption of alcohol may increase the risk of malnutrition, weight-gain, obesity and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to review the influence of alcohol intake on nutritional status, lipid profile and blood pressure. The review shows that the additional consumption of ethanol calories will favor weight gain and metabolic changes and may engrave the risk of cardiovascular diseases, altering the lipid profile and promoting hypertension. Recommending a moderate use of alcohol with the purpose of taking advantage of its health benefits must not be done.

“…However, excessive alcohol use can raise the risk of atherosclerosis progression and be a role in conditions including high triglycerides, high blood pressure, weight gain, and irregular heartbeats. Due to the short epidemiological follow-up in this area, the association between alcohol use and cardiovascular illnesses, particularly their atherogenic and antiatherogenic qualities, is still up for debate.. 26,27,28 Hypertension:…”

A significant sign of coronary artery disease is the acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Angina pectoris, ST-elevation myocardial infarction, and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) are just a few of the conditions that are grouped together under the general term “ACS.” The main cause of death worldwide is cardiovascular disease, which puts ACS under a heavy financial strain. Reduced blood flow to the heart, primarily as a result of plaque rupture and thrombus development, is a pathogenesis of ACS. Numerous risk factors, both modifiable (such as smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, and inactivity) and non-modifiable (like age, gender, and inheritance), can lead to the development of ACS. Electrocardiography (ECG), clinical evaluation, history-taking, and cardiac biomarkers are all used in the diagnosis process. For the best management, prompt diagnosis and risk classification are essential. Reperfusion therapy, anti-anginal therapy, and renin-angiotensin blocking are a few of the suggested procedures in treatment techniques that aim to minimise myocardial ischemia and restore coronary blood flow. Long-term management also strongly depends on modifying one’s lifestyle, including giving up smoking, eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and obtaining rehabilitation. Acute cardiac failure, ventricular septum or papillary muscle rupture, arrhythmias, recurrent angina, and other consequences of ACS are also highlighted in the paper. The prognosis varies depending on variables, including persistent myocardial injury and the existence of ventricular arrhythmias; an unfavourable prognosis is frequently related to arrhythmias and is associated with poor left ventricular function. . This article offers a thorough review of ACS and gives readers important information about its pathophysiology, risk factors, diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis.

“…Moderate and frequent alcohol consumption (>30 g/day) can bring benefits to the cardiovascular system (Foppa et al, 2001 ), with increased High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and the consumption of red wine has antioxidant action (da Luz and Coimbra, 2004 ). However, abusive alcohol consumption (>60 g/day) has direct consequences for the medium-long term health of the individual, such as liver disease, cancer, cardiovascular, and mental problems, as well as indirect consequences in case of accidents, suicides, and homicides due to short-term harm, such as cognitive and mobility problems (da Luz and Coimbra, 2004 ; Jennison, 2004 ; World Health Organization, 2019 ).…”
