The Holiday Heart Syndrome (HHS) refers to binge alcohol-associated cardiac arrhythmia of which atrial fibrillation (AF) being the most occurred arrhythmia type. Excessive alcohol consumption is a serious public health and economic issue in the US and globally. Despite a tremendous education effort, binge drinking among the population of young and older adults continues to rise. During this current COVID-19 pandemic, social isolation has significantly increased alcohol consumption nationwide. In this issue, Greco et al. reported a straightforward study on the role of RyR2 dysfunction in binge alcohol-evoked AF using an HHS rat model, and evaluated the anti-AF potential of dantrolene, an RyR channel blocker. However, further investigations including off-target effects of dantrolene and therapeutic potential of other RyR2 blockers in AF are needed.
