Alcohal Cardiomyopathy

Posted By tim foley on July 15, 1999 at 09:17:47
Several years ago, my father was diagnosed with alcohal (alcohol) cardiomyopathy. Recently he has resumed drinking a couple of glasses of wine a day. He claims it makes his heart feel better. He is on coumadin and recently bumped and bruised himself. The bruise did not cagulate and hemmoraged. He is in atrifibrilation. Several years ago he had electro cardioversion and medication to attempt a normal rythm, neither worked. He feels slugish at times and has poor eyesight. How bad is aouple glasses of wine? I know it's not good, but I can't convince him otherwise. Could his heart effect his eyesight? His face seemes a little bloated but he is not coughing. Is their any suggestions you could recommend?
