Alcohol induced cardiomyopathy

[@msnpassjan2004]

Don't drink but watched the whole video to promote this very important channel !

[@michellewelch6013]

30 days ago my husband suffered a heart attack. I saw him suffer the awful pain, fall to teh floor, and turn purple. At 68, I was not strong enough to turn the 250 lb man over from face to back, but somehow I did it. Then I worked like holy blazes to force his heart to pump until the emergency services arrived at our home. He did not recover and his life was ended. He had an alcohol habit for the 45 years we were married. I am heart broken at the loss of my life mate. He paid for his alcohol consumption with perhaps 20 years of life. What a cost for myself and our four children left to mourn him.

It blows my mind to hear some of my aquantainaces talk like they think 10-15 drinks is fun and normal. My heart goes out to anyone who struggles with alcohol.

Great work sir avid follower Stopped drinking 3years ago not because I "had to "but as a lifestyle choice Now I drink only zero alcohol Guinness for the antioxidants and never felt better The 50mls a week on the bike and very healthy eating combine to make me feel better than ever done This is 12yrs down from stents 😊😊

Thank you. I needed to hear this. You very kind and the most pleasant person to listen to ♥

Moderation. I've had two drinks a day for 20 years. I'm 52. I'm in great shape and just had a normal echocardiogram. I enjoy food beer and wine.

[@richardbrewis436]

Thanks. I'm thinking about this at my age, 41. Great to have been following along, York Cardiology💞. Thanks for posting.

[@escapeinart]

Since I stopped drinking alcohol about 2 years ago, I’ve seen dramatic improvements in my fitness and overall wellbeing. It’s the way to go, together with smaller food portions, mainly plant based.

[@tez4792]

Smaller portions is what I struggle with. I like to eat big meals and I eat fast.

[@David-vn4qu]

I’ve definitely seen a difference when I eat smaller meals but more nutrient dense foods I don’t find meat a problem. But obviously not too much of it. Sugar and processed foods and smaller carbs/ starches. Seems to be a game changer for me. Obviously not do away with carbs completely. But eating good quality pasta with homemade sauces or even a pizza with sourdough bread gives me that life quality of the pleasure I get from food.

[@stevelanghorn1407]

Excellent explanation, thanks. Dr Robert Lustig has interesting things to say regarding the damaging effects of sugars / carbohydrates particularly on our Liver. Alcoholic drinks are also often high in carbs...so this combined with the Ethanol is a bad combination...sadly!

[@john-w2u3c]

If everyone stopped drinking alcohol, just think of all the people put out of business and the improvement to people's health worldwide.

[@engleharddinglefester4285]

Stopped drinking in 1984. Developed afib 10 years ago. Had an ablation last May 2024. I have too many stress inducing people in my life.

[@MiteshDamania]

How is it after the ablation? Did you have any more recurrence? Do you feel weaker?

[@workshop3301]

@engle, if you can quit alcohol, quitting toxic people ain't that difficult. It's self preservation and worthy Good luck!

[@SHANECatLovinActivistHistorian]

when i was 14, i drank a bottle of whiskey in a few minutes. I blacked out and woke up in bed the next morning. I was so sick. All day i threw up anything i tried to eat or drink and my heart was pounding all day. My heart pounded so hard that when i laid on the bed, the bed would shake. It was late in the evening before i could keep anything down and my heart stopped pounding. I should have been in a hospital. Wonder i didnt died from it.

[@NataliyaOr]

@yorkcardiology how would you explain me getting heart palpitations a couple hrs after drinking even a glass of wine. Thanks

[@iriseastburn5306]

If you are going to drink alcohol, wouldn’t it help to take benfotiamine B1 - since alcohol deplete your B vitamins.

[@cryptojunkie5875]

Hi Dr Gupta, would love an updated video on Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and the latest new treatments like Mavacamten and soon to release Aficamten. Prognosis and outlook for obstructive and non-obstructive types. Newly diagnosed with HCM and stage 3 heart failure and looking for the latest treatments and straight talking about life expectancy.

Do you know why alcohol causes racing heart, or if this is normal? For me, when I have some beers (3-5 12oz, 4-5% alcohol), my heart races, sometimes over 100 bpm. Thanks

[@l.b.3152]

Keep an eye as you could develop AFib. I love wine but my cardiologist told me to stop drinking it…sad because I love my red wine but I love my life more…❤

[@birdman4274]

Hi boss. Can cardiomyopathy also lead or contribute towards peripheral neuropathy esp in feet and legs?

[@zandvoort8616]

Can you please do an update on the latest blood pressure guidelines? I’ve seen a lot on KZbin re the clear benefits of being under 120/80, but that’s hard to achieve without medication?

Different countries have different guidelines.

[@francesgraham5411]

I’m 88years old, if my bp is under 150 systolic I am happy. I am taking candesartan 24 mgs, have decided to refuse taking medication that ruins my ordinary life with dreadful side effects. I do tai chi every day, don’t drink alcohol or eat refined carbs, and find life enjoyable. I see the effects on people who eat lots of sweet sugary food and drink alcohol regularly, and it is not nice.

[@bettymarshall2702]

All alcohol is poison and should not be in anybody's diet at all including wine. Depends how long you want to live.

[@kennethsouthard6042]

Actually, it's not. Alcohol is essentially poison, while small amounts won't hurt you, no amount will help you.,

[@QueensNativeNYC]

I know at least 3 men who have slammed down a 6 pack of beer a day for 20 years or more and seem to be fine.. I'm in my 50's now and I hardly drink at all, except for an occasional beer or two.. In my 40's I put down quite a bit of beer nearly every single day.. I mainly stopped because I just don't like the tired crappy feeling I get from drinking, especially after the initial feel good buzz feeling wears off and the hangover effects take hold..
