At the Frontier Heart Program, we’ve noticed that in some of our users, increased alcohol intake the night before leads to more rhythm changes in their Frontier X recording on the following day.
A recent study has shown that in individuals predisposed to rhythm changes in the heart, a single drink could increase the likelihood of abnormal heart rhythms within the next 4 hours! The study, “Acute Alcohol Consumption And Discrete Atrial Fibrillation Events,” was presented at ACC 2021.
Have you seen any changes in your Frontier X data after a night of drinks?

Hi El Rayo,
The Frontier X will allow you to keep track of ECG changes beyond the changes in resting HR and HRV, by providing continuous ECG. This should allow you to get a better of the idea of further changes in your heart after alcohol intake! Would you be interested in participating in an internal study we are planning, which will look at the changes in ECG after alcohol intake?-

Yes, count me in and send me the details please.

I also wear a WHOOP strap, and in general any time I have alcohol my recovery numbers for the next day are very bad. I think most of the times my Frontier Coach has identified heart palpitations during workouts have been days where I had a drink the night before. I have a coaching session tomorrow with several good workouts this week and no drinks so we’ll see what it says.

Do you wear the whoop strap with the Frontier or separately.

I just got my Frontier today. However, I have had the same experience with my whoop and drinking.

I certainly notice a difference even after just one drink anymore than that and and there are massive changes. Interestingly it also has a massive impact on the Garmin Body Battery scale. I no longer train if I have had anymore than one drink.

Before I even got my FX I have pretty much completely stopped drinking because even a small amount makes me feel grim. One glass of wine per night (early) is my limit.

I am a new user (just purchased but not yet delivered) and have also noticed that my night time resting HR and HRV are affected by alcohol consumption as measured by my Oura ring. This happens with just one drink! Of course, I’m an old man lol at 70 yrs so that’s probably a contributing factor. I realize this is anecdotal but it is repeatable.
