Alcoholic Myocardiopathy Diego Marques

Since the introduction of the term "alcoholic cardiomyopathy" in the year 1902, the diagnosis is mainly based on a history of long-term excessive alcohol consumption without abnormal loading conditions, coronary artery disease, drugs, or other specific disease. This book has the idea of showing the risks that alcohol causes to the heart, its changes and the final outcome. This so serious and silent pathology affects young patients, to the point of leaving them debilitated to the point of needing heart transplantation in a short period of time after the disease is already established. This is a book and a warning to the whole society.
