  • Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an arrhythmia with high impact on public health. Among modifiable risk factors for the disease the role of alcohol consumption (AC) has remained inconsistent.Purpose: To assess the association between AC and incident AF across European cohorts.Methods: To study the association between self-reported AC and incident AF in N=107,845 community-based individuals from the BiomarCaRE consortium, 106,915 individuals free of AF at baseline were followed up for AF and stroke after AF. We assessed AC using validated questionnaires. Biomarkers N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (Nt-proBNP) and high sensitivity troponin I (hsTnI) were measured.Results: The median age of individuals was 47.8 years, 48.3% were men. The median of right-winsorized AC was 3 g/day. N=6,055 individuals developed AF (median follow-up time: 13.9 years). In a linear multivariable-adjusted Cox regression analyses, AC was linearly and positively associated with incident AF (Figure), hazard ratio (HR) per g/day 1.009, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.007- 1.012, P<0.001. For one drink (12g) per day the HR was 1.15, CI 1.12–1.18, P<0.001. There was a high heterogeneity in associations across cohorts.No significant interactions of the association by Nt-proBNP and hsTnI were observed. AC was positively related to stroke risk after diagnosis of AF (HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.04–1.34, P=0.012).Conclusions: In contrast to other cardiovascular diseases, we did not observe a U-shaped association of alcohol with incident AF in the community, but a rather linearly increasing relation.
