Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy: Translation Model

Abstract: We developed a translation model of alcoholic cardiomyopathy in rats. By the end of forced alcoholization (the rats received 10% ethanol solution as the only source of fluid for 24 weeks; mean daily ethanol consumption was 5.0-6.5 g/kg), the rats developed dilated heart failure. Echocardiography and morphometric study of the myocardium revealed a decrease in inotropic function of the heart and dilatation of the right and left ventricles. Fatty degeneration of the myocardium (pathognomonic sign of alcoholic car… Show more

“…Moreover, the fact that alcoholic cardi-omyopathy induces dilation of both the left and right ventricles is consistent with the biventricular systolic dysfunction in this case. 16,17) Based on these reasons, we believe that alcoholic cardiomyopathy is most likely. Beriberi heart could have coexisted due to vitamin B1 deficiency, although vitamin B1 was not measured at admission.…”

“…Alcohol abuse can cause systemic atherosclerosis [ 49 ], high blood pressure (HBP) [ 50 ] and cardiac arrhythmias. However, in a very high percentage, it leads to progressive myocardial damage, also known as “alcohol dilated heart disease” [ 14 , 24 , 30 , 51 , 52 , 53 ].…”

“…Twenty‐four 8‐week‐old male C57BL/6 mice (Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) were randomly divided into 2 ethanol (EtOH)‐fed groups and 2 control‐fed groups (non‐EtOH fed) ( n = 6 for all groups). In EtOH‐fed groups, mice were fed a 4%‐EtOH (w/v, 28% of total calories) alcoholic liquid diet of Lieber–DeCarli or AIN‐93 for chronic alcohol exposure for 180 days (Bertola et al., ; Kryzhanovskii et al., ; Matyas et al., ; Yang et al., ). In control‐fed groups, mice were fed with non‐EtOH liquid diets, with an equal number of calories as the EtOH‐fed groups.…”
