Chocolate Intake and Risk of Atrial Fibrillation Is chocolate intake associated with reduced incident atrial fibrillation or flutter (AF)? Methods: Data from the Danish Diet, Cancer, and Health Study, a large population-based prospective cohort study, were used for the current analysis
The Implications of Chocolate for Atrial Fibrillation The growing base of research makes it clear that dark chocolate offers health benefits But, a recent study suggests that any type of chocolate may lower atrial fibrillation risk
Chocolate consumption and risk of atrial fibrillation: Two cohort . . . Chocolate consumption has been inconsistently associated with risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) We investigated the association between chocolate consumption and risk of AF in Swedish adults from two cohort studies and conducted a meta-analysis to summarize available evidence from cohort studies on this topic
Cocoa Overconsumption and Cardiac Rhythm: Potential Arrhythmogenic . . . The ECG evidenced an atrial fibrillation; the echocardiography showed a mild mitral regurgitation and an ejection fraction of 50%; a nutritional interview evidenced an excessive daily chocolate ingestion during the last 3 days
Heartbeat: Chocolate and atrial fibrillation | Heart Moderate chocolate consumption has been associated with lower rate of adverse cardiac events and mortality, with the mechanism of this association postulated to be the vasodilatory, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of flavanols in chocolate
Will eating chocolate reduce your risk of atrial fibrillation? For men, the biggest reduction in risk was seen in people who ate 2-6 servings of chocolate a week – this was linked to a 23 per cent lower risk of AF For women, the biggest reduction in risk was if they ate one serving of chocolate a week, in which case they had a 21 per cent lower risk of AF
