Abstract

Objective: To investigate certain morphological and functional characteristics of the left ventricle using echocardiography in patients with chronic alcoholism. Subjects and methods: 78 patients with chronic alcoholism and 56 healthy individuals as controls were designated and underwent Doppler echocardiography at the Ultrasound Department, Radiology Center, 103 Military Hospital. Results: The systolic and diastolic interventricular septal thickness as well as the systolic and diastolic posterior wall thickness of the left ventricle were higher in the patient group compared to the control group. The systolic and diastolic diameters of the left ventricle in patients with chronic alcoholism were higher than those in the control group. The Fractional shortening (FS) and ejection fraction (EF) in the patient group were not statistically significantly different from the control group. Left ventricular systolic dysfunction was only observed in the patient group (with 1 moderate case accounting for 12.28% and 12 mild cases accounting for 15.38%). Conclusion: There are changes in the morphological and functional characteristics of the left ventricle in patients with chronic alcoholism.
