[|Human|] I am 44 years old, healthy but have been experiencing moderate amount of atrial extra beats and episodes of 2nd degree AV Block. I will be evaluated next week by cardiologist, but I am still having a cup of coffee and a glass of red wine at night b/c I LOVE red wine. Do I need to avoid the wine? I am hoping no (coffee in the am , and red wine at night)
[|AI|]  Hello thanks for posting here. Atrial extra beats are ok, but episodes of second degree heart blocks require attention. Conductive Heart blocks are usually degenerative i.e. get worn off with age or present since birth. Occasionally it can be caused by ischemia - reduced blood supply to the heart. Wine or coffee does not cause any worsening of heart blocks. But provided u stick to only one glass of wine. Coffee can lead to increase in heart rate which may precipitate atrial ectopic. So again coffee once a day is ok, but more than three cups a day is harmful. Take care regards
