Résumé

Alcoholic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a form of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) occurring secondary to long-standing heavy alcohol use and is associated with poor outcomes, but the cause-specific risks are insufficiently understood. Between 1997 and 2018, we identified all patients with a first diagnosis of ACM or DCM. The cumulative incidence of different causes of hospitalisation and mortality in the two groups was calculated using the Fine-Gray and Kaplan-Meier methods. A Total of 1,237 patients with ACM (mean age 56.3±10.1 years, 89% men) and 17,211 individuals with DCM (mean age 63.6±13.8 years, 71% men) were identified. Diabetes (10% vs 15%), hypertension (22% vs 31%), and stroke (8% vs 10%) were less common in ACM than DCM, whereas obstructive lung disease (15% vs 12%) and liver disease (17% vs 2%) were more prevalent (p<0.05). Cumulative 5-year mortality was 49% in ACM vs 33% in DCM, p<0.0001, multivariable adjusted hazards ratio 2.11 (95% confidence interval 1.97-2.26). The distribution of causes of death was similar in ACM and DCM, with the predominance of cardiovascular causes in both groups (42% in ACM vs 44% in DCM). 5-year cumulative incidence of heart failure hospitalisations (48% vs 54%) and any somatic cause (59% vs 65%) were also similar in ACM vs DCM. At 1 year, the use of beta blockers (55% vs 80%) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (3% vs 14%) were significantly less often used in ACM vs DCM. Patients with ACM had similar cardiovascular risks and hospitalisation patterns as other forms of DCM, but lower use of guideline-directed cardiovascular therapies and greater mortality.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Alcoholic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a form of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) occurring secondary to long-standing heavy alcohol use and is associated with poor outcomes, but the cause-specific risks are insufficiently understood.
METHOD METHODS
Between 1997 and 2018, we identified all patients with a first diagnosis of ACM or DCM. The cumulative incidence of different causes of hospitalisation and mortality in the two groups was calculated using the Fine-Gray and Kaplan-Meier methods.
RESULTS RESULTS
A Total of 1,237 patients with ACM (mean age 56.3±10.1 years, 89% men) and 17,211 individuals with DCM (mean age 63.6±13.8 years, 71% men) were identified. Diabetes (10% vs 15%), hypertension (22% vs 31%), and stroke (8% vs 10%) were less common in ACM than DCM, whereas obstructive lung disease (15% vs 12%) and liver disease (17% vs 2%) were more prevalent (p<0.05). Cumulative 5-year mortality was 49% in ACM vs 33% in DCM, p<0.0001, multivariable adjusted hazards ratio 2.11 (95% confidence interval 1.97-2.26). The distribution of causes of death was similar in ACM and DCM, with the predominance of cardiovascular causes in both groups (42% in ACM vs 44% in DCM). 5-year cumulative incidence of heart failure hospitalisations (48% vs 54%) and any somatic cause (59% vs 65%) were also similar in ACM vs DCM. At 1 year, the use of beta blockers (55% vs 80%) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (3% vs 14%) were significantly less often used in ACM vs DCM.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Patients with ACM had similar cardiovascular risks and hospitalisation patterns as other forms of DCM, but lower use of guideline-directed cardiovascular therapies and greater mortality.
