Overview
Mild alcohol consumption decreases cardiovascular morbidity and mortality as well as it reduces total mortality. Although regular intake of any type of alcoholic beverage appears to have positive influence on health, additional benefits are thought to be associated with wine, particularly red wine. The beneficial effect of wine is ascribed to the presence of ethanol and phenolic substances. This overview is dedicated to epidemiology of coronary artery disease (CAD) and wine consumption, as well as the underlying mechanisms of the biological effects of wine compounds on CAD.
