Even one alcoholic drink a day may increase the risk of atrial fibrillation, a new study published in the European Heart Journal claims.
The study says,&nbsp;a drink a day was linked to 16% enhanced risk of atrial fibrillation over a follow-up span of 14 years, when compared to none.
The commonly said phrase 'one glass of wine a day' to protect the heart should not be recommended without weighing the risks and benefits, the study said.
Information of over 1 lakh&nbsp;respondents was analysed between 1982 and 2010 for the study.&nbsp;Atrial fibrillation&nbsp;is the medical term given to an irregular and rapid heart rate.

Most of us were confined within the walls of our homes in 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but one black T-shirt became a symbol of hope, travelling across the globe.
Called the&nbsp;Travelling T-shirt, it is part of&nbsp;Project Hope, which is the brainchild of&nbsp;Siddhant Agarwal, an events' executive in New Delhi who was sent on indefinite unpaid leave at the beginning of the pandemic.
He headed back home to Shahjahanpur&nbsp;in UP, and decided to put his time to good use. He came up with the idea of the Travelling T-shirt in a bid to&nbsp;unite people across the globe.
He shortlisted a set of vloggers across 10 countries who would shoot their videos using the Hope T-shirt. Currently, the tee is in New York and has already been to Singapore, Hong&nbsp;Kong, Tokyo and Japan!

Norway officials&nbsp;have reported deaths of 23 patients shortly after receiving the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine.

'There is no certain connection between these deaths and the vaccine,' Norway's medical chief told The British Medical Journal (BMJ).
Norway has administered over&nbsp;20,000 doses of the vaccine in the past few weeks and over 400 deaths per week are a normal occurrence&nbsp;among care home residents, reports The BMJ.&nbsp;
