Alcoholic cardiomyopathy is a type of dilated cardiomyopathy. Change of lifestyle, medications and implantation of pacemaker may prolong lifespan. Such patients may experience a marked limitation of physical activities, remain comfortable at rest, but less than ordinary physical activity quickly fatigues them, and they experience palpitations, dyspnoea (labored breathing) or anginal pain. Please see the web pages for more details on alcoholic cardiomyopathy.
