Can you get alcoholic cardiomyopathy in 1 year by drinking heavy every 1-3 days at age 24-25?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely : Alcohol in large quantities is cardiotoxic and this amount of drinking can lead to cardiomyopathy. The good news is that stopping drinking and taking heart medications can resolve the problem.
