Abstract
To determine whether cardiac malfunction in chronic alcoholics precedes clinical signs of cardiac damage, noninvasive polygraphic recordings were carried out and interpreted independently in 26 ambulatory patients with chronic alcoholism and no clinical evidence of heart disease, normal control subjects matched for age and sex, and 12 patients with alcoholic cardiomyopathy.
