“…Ethanol intake ≥24 g per day in females and ≥36 g per day in males has been found to cause hypertension; therefore, hypertension frequently contributes to LV dysfunction in cases of cardiomyopathy (6). Excessive alcohol intake is responsible for one-third of newly emerging atrial fibrillation cases, and malignant ventricular arrhythmias are common when the LV ejection fraction is <40% (7,8). However, arrhythmia was not detected in our patient.…”

“…MFN1 plays a key role in regulating mitochondrial fusion and maintaining the dynamic balance of mitochondrial morphology and promotes the mutual combination of mitochondria mainly in the early stage of fusion. When the expression level of MFN1 is insufficient, the efficiency of mitochondrial fusion is decreased, mitochondrial fragmentation is increased, mitochondrial mobility is weakened, and mitochondrial morphology also changes significantly 31 . By analyzing the specific mechanism of ethanol-induced damage to the mitochondrial function of cardiomyocytes, it was found that the protein and mRNA levels of MFN1 in ethanol-treated cardiomyocytes were decreased.In order to further confrm whether MFN1 serves a role in ethanol-induced cardiomyocyte mitochondrial function, the expression levels of MFN1 in ethanol-treated AC16 cardiomyocytes were upregulated via plasmid transfection, and then mitochondrial morphology, MMP and the ROS contents were analyzed respectively.As a result, mitochondria morphology basically returned to normal, MMPs were recreased, the ROS contents were decreased,which manifested mitochondrial function in ethanol-treated cardiomyocytes may be restored following upregulation the MFN1 expression.Therefore,MFN1 may inhibit ethanol-induced cardiomyocyte mitochondrial dysfunction.…”

“…Even moderate alcohol consumption represents a risk factor for atrial fibrillation 43. Left bundle branch block suggests increased risk of sudden cardiac death 44. The function of the left ventricle can improve after abstinence, and even if the dysfunction persists, the signs and symptoms of heart failure can improve 40.…”
