Even though extensive experimental as well as clinical evidence exists for adverse cardiac effects of alcohol, pathogenesis and incidence of alcoholic cardiomyopathy is not fully understood. From the genetic level and understanding of the pathogenesis of the toxic effects of alcohol on the heart we come to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of the disease that, in the context of co-morbidities and complications (hypertension, diabetes, arrhythmias, heart failure), continues to represent an significant clinical entity with an important impact on patient prognosis.

Keywords: alcohol; alcoholic cardiomyopathy; complications; prognosis
