If the patient has a history of mitral stenosis or mitral regurgitation, they should avoid alcohol as it can lead to a series of side effects, especially symptoms such as chest tightness, palpitations, and difficulty breathing.

If drinking alcohol results in elevated blood pressure, it requires proactive management, especially for those with heart valve diseases. It is advised that patients focus on a diet rich in high-quality protein and low in salt, fat, and sodium. Regular echocardiographic check-ups are also essential. If the patient has no special complications, active treatment is needed, which usually involves using medications to improve cardiac function.
