Abstract: Holiday heart syndrome is the name of a syndrome used in the occurrence of acute arrhythmia with excessive alcohol consumption as a trigger and in a person with no known pre-existing heart disease. This name “Holiday Heart Syndrome” (HHS) was given by Dr Philip Ettinger in 1978.
Dr. Ettinger proposed this name because after studying with his collaborators, that episodes of these cardiac arrhythmias usually occurred after weekends or holidays. Rhythm disturbances usually occur in people with no apparent signs of pre-existing heart disease and usually resolve spontaneously within 24 hours of stopping alcohol consumption.
Holiday heart syndrome usually has a clinically benign course. Keywords: arrhythmias, ethyl alcohol, syndrome.
