Ethanol effects on myocardial proteins should not yet guide alcoholic cardiomyopathy management; hypothesis-generating for targeted mechanistic trials.
What are the biochemical mechanisms underlying heart muscle damage caused by excessive ethanol consumption?
Excessive ethanol consumption leads to alcoholic heart muscle disease through biochemical alterations including decreased synthesis and selective loss of contractile proteins.
Preedy et al. (1996) studied this question.
