Can alcholism cause the heart disease Cardiomyopathy?


Can alcholism cause the heart disease Cardiomyopathy?

It absolutely can but you have to be drinking heavily for several years before it begins to affect the heart.

I don't think so. I think that is caused by viruses and maybe certain autoimmune diseases. Alcohol in excess slowly destroys your liver.

Cardiomyopathy is heart disease. I have it and mine was caused by a virus. It can be caused by other things. If you go to http://www.webmd.com/ you can get all sorts of information on this and you can ask professionals questions in there.

yes it can - alcoholic cardiomyopathy.

Alcohol is a negative inotrope (decreases force of contraction) and it is directly toxic to cardiac muscle - people with established alcoholic cardiomyopathy is strongly advised to avoid alcohol.

Cardiomyopathy can be caused by viral infections, heart attacks, alcoholism, long-term severe high blood pressure, nutritional deficiencies (particularly selenium, thiamine, and L-carnitine), systemic lupus erythematosus, coliac disease, and end-stage kidney disease.
