Alcoholic cardiomyopathy

Drinking a lot of alcohol for a long time can cause myocardial lesions, which appear similar to dilated cardiomyopathy, and is called alcoholic cardiomyopathy (ACM). In the 1995 report of the World Health Organization and the International Federation of Cardiology Association (WHO / ISFC) Working Group Expert Committee on the definition and classification of cardiomyopathy, alcoholic cardiomyopathy was listed as an allergic and toxic reaction in specific cardiomyopathy Caused by cardiomyopathy. After abstaining from alcohol, the disease can be relieved or cured on its own. The disease is more common in adult men. In recent years, China's incidence has increased.
