My father has been diagnosed with Alchohal cardiomyopathy. He moves slow use to play golf but has a hard time today. (maybee nine holes) His ejection fraction was at 20% when first diagnosed several years ago. He quit drinking for two years but now has resumed wine consumption. He drinks about two glasses of wine a day. I notice some slight deterieration in his condition. His voice is higher he has to sit more often and at times his hand appears to be shaking. He perspires very easily and at times apears too tired to talk. Could this be from his previous condition getting worse or may this be caused from the resumption in alchohal consumption? Is the alcohal (alcohol) consumption directly detrimental to his health?
