Abstract
Alcoholic cardiomyopathy is a slowly progressive, insidious disease which causes death in three to five years after the first bout of congestive failure. Recent studies show that there is a prolonged period of impaired left ventricular performance during which the individual has no cardiac symptoms. This is the time to pursue a program of abstinence vigorously.Keywords
