Key Paper Evaluation  Alcohol consumption reduces coronary heart disease even among men with hypertension†  Author for correspondence Evaluation of: Beulens JW, Rimm EB, Ascherio A, Spiegelman D, Hendriks HF, Mukamal KJ. Alcohol consumption and risk for coronary heart disease among men with hypertension. Ann. Intern. Med. 146(1), 10–19 (2007). Beulens and colleagues evaluated 11,711 men with hypertension in a cohort study and found that moderate alcohol consumption was associated with a decreased risk of myocardial infarction in comparison with subjects who abstained from alcohol consumption. There were no significant differences in death from all causes, death due to cardiovascular disease, total stroke events and ischemic stroke between the two groups.
