O B Zharkov, and T G Traianova, and M I Lukomskaia, and V S Moiseev

A study was made of opportunities for the use of some signs of alcoholic intoxication in the verification of alcoholic etiology of heart lesion. Clinical signs like hyperemia of the face with telangiectasia, venous plethora of the eyeballs, tremor of the lips, tongue, limbs, Dupuytren's contracture, enlarged liver size combined with a positive macrocytosis test and, to a lesser degree, with a higher activity of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, and the detection of fatty hepatosis in liver puncture biopsy were shown to suggest alcoholic intoxication, and excluding other cases of heart lesion they can be of great help in the verification of diagnosis of alcoholic heart lesion.

D002310 Cardiomyopathy, Alcoholic Disease of CARDIAC MUSCLE resulting from chronic excessive alcohol consumption. Myocardial damage can be caused by: (1) a toxic effect of alcohol; (2) malnutrition in alcoholics such as THIAMINE DEFICIENCY; or (3) toxic effect of additives in alcoholic beverages such as COBALT. This disease is usually manifested by DYSPNEA and palpitations with CARDIOMEGALY and congestive heart failure (HEART FAILURE). Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy
