CHARACTERISTICS OF PATHOMORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF ALCOHOLIC CARDIOMYOPATHY

Effects of alcohol metabolites, mainly acetaldehyde, on the heart. Disturbances in metabolism and electrolyte imbalance lead to arrhythmias and disturbances in the functional activity of the heart. Acetaldehyde disrupts the synthesis of several compounds and increases the synthesis of inflammatory cytokines and leads to the development of an autoimmune process. The weight of the heart is 500-550 gr. and it is observed that it is filled with fat. When the heart is placed on the operating table, it is diffuse, similar to infectious myocarditis, and the heart is red or purple in color.
