Alcohols Impact on the Cardiovascular System PMC
The biochemical basis of alcohol-induced cardiomyopathy also involves disturbances in cardiac energy metabolism. For example, high blood concentrations of alcohol reduce the oxygen supply to the cardiac muscle and interfere with oxygen-requiring (i.e., aerobic) metabolism in the heart. This effect decreases the level of the high-energy molecules that power the contraction process (i.e., adenosine triphosphate […]
