Alcohol and caffeine synergistically induce spontaneous ventricular tachyarrhythmias: ameliorated with dantrolene treatment
BACKGROUND: Alcohol and caffeine are the 2 frequently consumed substances in the general population, and the 2 substances are frequently co-consumed. Both substances may increase cardiac arrhythmia risk. However, it is unknown whether alcohol and caffeine co-consumption can synergistically enhance c...

description | BACKGROUND: Alcohol and caffeine are the 2 frequently consumed substances in the general population, and the 2 substances are frequently co-consumed. Both substances may increase cardiac arrhythmia risk. However, it is unknown whether alcohol and caffeine co-consumption can synergistically enhance cardiac arrhythmogenesis. OBJECTIVE: The study sought to investigate whether caffeine and binge drinking synergistically affect cardiac arrhythmogenesis. METHODS: A binge drinking rat model (alcohol 2 g/kg, intraperitoneal, every other day for 3 times) was used. Rats (4 months old, both sexes) were randomized into the following 4 groups: binge alcohol–only group (A) (n = 8), nonalcohol, caffeine-only (60 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) group (C) (n = 8), binge alcohol plus caffeine group (A+C) (n = 8), and binge alcohol + caffeine + dantrolene group (A+D) (n = 7, treated with dantrolene 10 mg/kg before each alcohol injection). We also investigated whether alcohol induces Ca(2+) sparks and dantrolene treatment attenuates alcohol-induced Ca(2+) leak in ventricular myocytes. RESULTS: No arrhythmia was induced with caffeine alone (group C, n = 0 of 8) or alcohol alone (group A, n = 0 of 8). However, alcohol + caffeine induced spontaneous ventricular tachyarrhythmias in all rats (group A+C, n = 8 of 8; P < .001 vs group C or A). Dantrolene prevented ventricular tachyarrhythmia induction in all 7 rats (group A+D, n = 0 of 7; P < .001 vs group A+C). In isolated ventricular myocytes, alcohol significantly increased Ca(2+) sparks and dantrolene treatment reduced alcohol-induced Ca(2+) sparks. CONCLUSION: Co-consumption of caffeine and binge drinking synergistically promote spontaneous ventricular tachyarrhythmias in rats. Dantrolene treatment can decrease alcohol-enhanced Ca(2+) sparks in vitro and prevented alcohol and caffeine induced ventricular tachyarrhythmias in vivo. |
