However, with proper treatment, including cessation of alcohol consumption and management of heart failure symptoms, the prognosis can improve significantly. [10] Research has shown that the mortality rate for people with ACM is higher than that of the general population, with a five-year survival rate of around 50%. [10]
Total recorded alcohol per capita consumption, in litres of pure alcohol [1]. In a 2018 study on 599,912 drinkers, a roughly linear association was found with alcohol consumption and a higher risk of stroke, coronary artery disease excluding myocardial infarction, heart failure, fatal hypertensive disease, and fatal aortic aneurysm, even for moderate drinkers.

People who drank more alcohol had higher blood pressure and difficulty sleeping, indicative of heightened cortisol levels. [4]

The level of ethanol consumption that minimizes the risk of disease, injury, and death is subject to some controversy. [16] Several studies have found a J-shaped relationship between alcohol consumption and health, [17] [18] [2] [19] meaning that risk is minimized at a certain (non-zero) consumption level, and drinking below or above this level increases risk, with the risk level of drinking a ...
