Abstract(s)
O consumo de Ć”lcool Ć© um hĆ”bito muito difundido nas mais diferentes sociedades e culturas. O efeito do seu consumo na saĆŗde cardiovascular depende tanto do padrĆ£o como da quantidade consumida. Apesar do consumo excessivo ser frequentemente associado a outcomes clĆnicos negativos, como doenƧas cardiovasculares e hipertensĆ£o arterial, verifica-se que o seu consumo moderado se traduz em benefĆcios para a saĆŗde cardiovascular.
A miocardiopatia dilatada Ć© a miocardiopatia mais prevalente em todo o mundo, sendo a causa mais frequente de transplante cardĆaco e a terceira maior causa de insuficiĆŖncia cardĆaca. A miocardiopatia alcoĆ³lica Ć© um tipo especĆfico de miocardiopatia dilatada que ocorre perante um consumo crĆ³nico excessivo de Ć”lcool. Assim como a miocardiopatia dilatada, a miocardiopatia alcoĆ³lica Ć© caracterizada por uma dilataĆ§Ć£o e disfunĆ§Ć£o sistĆ³lica do ventrĆculo esquerdo.
Habitualmente esta patologia apresenta-se em homens, mais frequentemente, entre os 35 e 60 anos de idade. O seu diagnĆ³stico depende da histĆ³ria de consumo crĆ³nico excessivo de Ć”lcool em associaĆ§Ć£o a uma sĆ©rie de alteraƧƵes celulares, histolĆ³gicas e estruturais do miocĆ”rdio.
A presente monografia compreende uma revisĆ£o bibliogrĆ”fica sobre o efeito do consumo do Ć”lcool na mortalidade global e cardiovascular, hipertensĆ£o arterial e insuficiĆŖncia cardĆaca. Ć explorada a relaĆ§Ć£o entre o consumo de Ć”lcool e o surgimento da miocardiopatia alcoĆ³lica, assim como uma descriĆ§Ć£o dos seus aspetos epidemiolĆ³gicos, mecanismos associados Ć lesĆ£o do miocĆ”rdio, clĆnica, diagnĆ³stico e tratamento.
Alcohol consumption is a widespread habit in many different societies and cultures. The effect of its consumption on cardiovascular health depends on both the consumption pattern and the amount consumed. Although excessive consumption is often associated with negative clinical outcomes, such as cardiovascular diseases and arterial hypertension, itās observed that moderate consumption turns out to be benefic for cardiovascular health. Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most prevalent cardiomyopathy in the world, being the most frequent cause of cardiac transplantation and the third largest cause of heart failure. Alcoholic cardiomyopathy is a specific type of dilated cardiomyopathy that occurs with excessive chronic alcohol consumption. Like dilated cardiomyopathies, alcoholic cardiomyopathy is characterized by dilation and systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle. Usually this pathology occurs in men, most often between 35 and 60 years of age. Its diagnosis depends on the history of excessive chronic alcohol consumption in association with a series of cellular, histological and structural changes of the myocardium. The present monograph is a literature review on the effect of alcohol consumption on cardiovascular and global mortality, arterial hypertension and heart failure. The relationship between alcohol consumption and the onset of alcoholic cardiomyopathy is explored, as well as a description of its epidemiological aspects, mechanisms associated with myocardial injury, clinical diagnosis and treatment.
