The paper reviews the author's own findings and the data available in the literature on the pathogenesis and anatomic pathology of alcoholic cardiomyopathy. The macro-, microscopic, and ultrastructural signs of alcoholic cardiomyopathy in the context of its differential diagnosis are characterized. The implication of alcoholic cardiomyopathy in the structure of pathologoanatomic diagnosis is considered.
