Key result
Chronic alcohol administration aggravated both experimental isoproterenol and viral cardiomyopathies.
Why the study?
Does chronic alcohol administration increase the incidence and severity of experimental isoproterenol and viral cardiomyopathies?
Does chronic alcohol administration increase the incidence and severity of experimental isoproterenol and viral cardiomyopathies?
Chronic alcohol administration aggravates experimental isoproterenol and viral cardiomyopathies.
Animal data on alcohol in cardiomyopathy models are hypothesis-generating; leaves open human relevance and should not change practice.
The influence of chronic alcohol administration on experimental isoproterenol and viral cardiomyopathies was investigated. It was found that both types of cardiomyopathies were aggravated by chronic administration of alcohol. Possible mechanisms through which alcohol modified the incidence and severity of these cardiomyopathies is discussed.
