IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALCOHOLIC CARDIOMYOPATHY AND CONGESTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY?

Alcohol causes direct toxicity to the heart and can cause weakening of the heart.  This can cause fluid retention and congestion.  However, there are other types of heart weakening which can cause congestion.  Sometimes the weakening from alcohol improves after someone stops drinking.
