Abstract excerpt
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is an enzyme that detoxifies reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generated aldehyde adducts such as 4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal (4-HNE). Previous meta-analyses have shown an increase in the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with chronic alcohol consumption. ALDH2*2, a common dysfunctional polymorphism in the ALDH2 gene, has been linked to an increased risk of cancer and heart...
