Abstract:
Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy, often known as LVNC, is a form of congenital cardiomyopathy that is extremely uncommon. It is a condition that may be identified by an elevated number of endomyocardial trabeculations as well as an increase in their prominence. Alcoholic cardiomyopathy, also known as ACM, is a non-ischemic form of dilated cardiomyopathy that is characterized by contractile failure and an enlargement of the heart ventricles. It is not entirely known whether or not there is a clinically significant overlap in phenotypic characteristics between the two illnesses. We report a patient who had previously been diagnosed with ACM and who had cardiac MRI results that fit the criteria for both LVNC and ACM.Keywords:

[Regression of dilated cardiomyopathy in a chronic alcoholic patient after abstinence from alcohol].
The authors report the case of a 28 year old alcoholic who was admitted to hospital for cardiac failure in 1982 due to a dilated cardiomyopathy. The clinical and paraclinical signs disappeared after cessation of alcohol intake. Three years after abstaining from alcohol, the electrocardiogram, echocardiogram and isotopic ventriculography are normal. This case illustrates the necessity of absolute cessation of alcohol intake in patients with dilated cardiomyopathies.

Left ventricular non-compaction, often known as LVNC, is a form of congenital cardiomyopathy that is extremely uncommon. It is a condition that may be identified by an elevated number of endomyocardial trabeculations as well as an increase in their prominence. Alcoholic cardiomyopathy, also known as ACM, is a non-ischemic form of dilated cardiomyopathy that is characterized by contractile failure and an enlargement of the heart ventricles. It is not entirely known whether or not there is a clinically significant overlap in phenotypic characteristics between the two illnesses. We report a patient who had previously been diagnosed with ACM and who had cardiac MRI (CMR) results that fit the criteria for both LVNC and ACM.

Background: Cardiomyopathy is a heart muscle disorder so which the heart cannot contract optimally. Alcoholic cardiomyopathy is a type of cardiomyopathy that dilates due to long-term alcohol consumption. The prevalence of alcoholic cardiomyopathy is higher in men than women. The age group with the most alcoholic cardiomyopathy was 45 to 74 year. Death from alcoholic cardiomyopathy had an autopsy result marked muscle dilatation. A toxicological examination can show the level of alcohol consumed. The cause of death in alcoholic cardiomyopathy is muscle dilatation due to chronic ethanol abuse (Dolinak, 2005). Islam expressly forbids something that makes losing mind, like alcohol. Alcohol has many disadvantages for the consumer in the form of loss of mind and turning away from Allah. Objective: This report aims to learn more about the definition, pathophysiology, clinical manifestation, and treatment of Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy. Also, Knowing and explaining Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy in terms of death and Islamic views. Methods: The design of this research is a literature review or library review, which is a systematic, direct, and reproducible research method by identifying, evaluating, and synthesizing published research. Result: Alcoholic cardiomyopathy is a clinical diagnosis made in a patient with a set of findings that include a history of excessive alcohol consumption, possible physical signs of alcohol abuse (e.g., parotid disease, telangiectasia or spider angiomata, altered mental status, cirrhosis), heart failure, and other evidence consistent with dilated cardiomyopathy. People who frequently consume alcohol can cause nutritional disorders, especially vitamin B1 deficiency can cause cardiomyopathy. Alcohol will also cause abnormalities in the structure and function of mitochondria in heart cells. These abnormalities include enlarged mitochondrial structure, decreased metabolism, lack of several enzymes decreased ion transport, increased calcium flow, glycogen accumulation, and decreased ATP production. Conclusion: Cardiomyopathy is a heart muscle function disorder characterized by the loss of the ability of the heart muscle to pump blood so that the blood supply is not optimal and results in death. The most common cause is chronic alcohol consumption, which causes dilatation of the heart muscle. At the same time, alcohol is an ingredient that is forbidden to be consumed by Muslims because of its more significant impact.

When confronted with a 400-page book dealing with cardiomyopathy, most clinicians respond with two questions: Is that much known about cardiomyopathy? If so, do I want to know that much about it? Volume 4 of the Cardiovascular Clinics Series is profusely illustrated, carefully edited, and sells for $12. It justifies an affirmative answer to both questions. Furthermore, it is a real bargain at current prices. Eighteen separate chapters are written by 22 contributing authors who are world authorities in their respective fields. Only by listing the chapter headings can the magnitude of this text be indicated: "Pathology of Cardiomyopathy," "Physiology of Idiopathic Cardiomyopathies," "Diagnosis of the Myocardial Diseases," "Electrocardiographic and Vectorcardiographic Patterns in Cardiomyopathy," "Myocardial Malfunction of Unknown Cause," "Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy of the Left Ventricle," "Infectious Myocarditis," "Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy," "Ischemic Cardiomyopathy: Diagnostic, Pathophysiologic, and Therapeutic Considerations," "Nutritional Heart Disease," "Toxic Agents and Cardiomyopathies," "Postpartal Cardiomyopathy," "Cardiomyopathy Associated with Systemic

This article provides an overview of alcoholic dilated cardiomyopathy. It aims to increase awareness of the condition among nurses, and help in early diagnosis and appropriate treatment referrals. The key message is that all patients with alcoholic dilated cardiomyopathy should be advised and assisted to stop drinking alcohol.

The purpose of the work was to analyze the current literature data on the morphology and thanatogenesis of alcoholic cardiomyopathy, as well as to determine further prospects for research on this issue. Domestic and foreign literary sources devoted to sudden death, pathomorphology of alcoholic cardiomyopathy, immunohistochemical and biochemical methods of its diagnosis were studied. As a result of the analysis, the essence of thanatogenesis in alcoholic cardiomyopathy is revealed, the prospect of immunohistochemical and morphometric methods is outlined.
According to the literature data, based on the results of the studies, an approximate scheme of thanatogenesis and subsequent scientific directions for the study of investigative deaths in alcoholic cardiomyopathy, in search of other diseases, can be built. In the Australian literature, the benefits of immunohistochemical are used to elucidate the antecedent pathochemical consequences. Also, in relation to the diagnosis of death from alcoholic cardiomyopathy, thanatogenetic analysis can be provided, since the sequence of development of fatally significant events in the form of various sudden deaths is not the same. In the interpretation of the processes occurring at the end of thanatogenesis in the myocardium, polarization microscopic examination is indispensable. I would like to note a number of biochemical changes in alcoholic cardiomyopathy, which demonstrate some features of the course of metabolic processes in this pathology, especially since this method and the immunohistochemical study are more in line with the modern requirements of evidence-based medicine.
