[Alcoholic cardiomyopathies (author's transl)].
In 108 patients suffering from congestive type cardiomyopathy, there were 42 alcoholics and 66 non-alcoholics. Comparisons between the two groups were made on the basis of clinical data, paraclinical investigations and prognosis. It was possible to distinguish an alcoholic cardiomyopathy which differs from primary cardiomyopathies by the greater severity of the clinical picture and a gloomier prognosis.
