Alcoholic cardiomyopathy(ACM) is part of the non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy(NI-DCM) spectrum. Little is known about cardiovascular magnetic resonance(CMR) features in ACM patients. The aim of this study is to describe CMR findings and their prognostic impact in ACM patients. Consecutive ACM patients evaluated in five referral CMR centres from January 2005 to December 2018 were enrolled. CMR findings and their prognostic value were compared to idiopathic NI-DCM(iNI-DCM) patients. The main outcome was a composite of death/heart transplantation/life-threatening arrhythmias. Overall 114 patients (52 with ACM and 62 with iNI-DCM) were included. ACM patients were more often males compared to iNI-DCM (90% vs 64%, respectively, p ≤ 0.001) and were characterized by a more pronounced biventricular adverse remodelling than iNI-DCM, i.e. lower LVEF (31 ± 12% vs 38 ± 11% respectively, p = 0.001) and larger left ventricular end-diastolic volume (116 ± 40 ml/m2 vs 67 ± 20 ml/m2 respectively, p < 0.001). Similarly to iNI-DCM, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), mainly midwall, was present in more than 40% of ACM patients but, conversely, it was not associated with adverse outcome(p = 0.15). LGE localization was prevalently septal (87%) in ACM vs lateral in iNI-DCM(p < 0.05). Over a median follow-up of 42 months [Interquartile Range 24-68], adverse outcomes were similar in both groups(p = 0.67). ACM represents a specific phenotype of NI-DCM, with severe morpho-functional features at the onset, but similar long-term outcomes compared to iNI-DCM. Despite the presence and pattern of distribution of LGE was comparable, ACM and iNI-DCM showed a different LGE localization, mostly septal in ACM and lateral in iNI-DCM, with different prognostic impact.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

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
D002311 Cardiomyopathy, Dilated A form of CARDIAC MUSCLE disease that is characterized by ventricular dilation, VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION, and HEART FAILURE. Risk factors include SMOKING; ALCOHOL DRINKING; HYPERTENSION; INFECTION; PREGNANCY; and mutations in the LMNA gene encoding LAMIN TYPE A, a NUCLEAR LAMINA protein.
