Left Ventricular Strain and Rotation by 2-D Speckle Tracking Echocardiography Identify Early Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy

Left ventricular structural alterations are accompanied by subclinical systolic dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with concomitant hyperlipidemia: An analysis based on 3D speckle tracking echocardiography

“…A slight increase in wall thickness was usually accompanied by a decrease in some part of the strain values, whereas a remarkable increase in wall thickness was always accompanied by a decrease in all strain values. These situations were present not only in common hypertension but also in alcoholic cardiomyopathy and uremia . Even in the strength‐trained athletes, marked physiological LV hypertrophy also led to significant decrease in all measured strain values …”

“…These situations were present not only in common hypertension but also in alcoholic cardiomyopathy and uremia. [20][21][22] Even in the strength-trained athletes, marked physiological LV hypertrophy also led to significant decrease in all measured strain values. 23 In our study, when comparing the controls to the T2DM pa-…”

Evaluation of the brachial artery endothelial function in chronic alcohol consumption among males by high‐frequency ultrasonography

“…The alcohol drinkers were divided into three groups according to their duration and volume of alcohol consumption . The mild group (group B; n=30, 56±8 years, 36–64 years) consumed ≤90 mg ethanol (2–3 beers)/d, at a rate of 3–5 days/wk for 5–8 years.…”

“…The alcohol drinkers were divided into three groups according to their duration and volume of alcohol consumption. 15 The mild group All participants gave their written informed consent for participation in the study. They all agreed to use their data and images of this study for publication.…”

“…Cardiotoxicity: Alcohol abuse primarily affects the central nervous system but it also exerts direct cardiotoxic effects 97,98 . There are documented evidence for dose-related cardiotoxicity for ethanol that includes left ventricular dysfunction and cardiomyopathy 99 . Alcohol consumption affects the myocardial contractility, systolic-diastolic deregulations and abnormal rhythm 100 .…”
