Gender evaluation of electrical heart remodeling in alcohol-dependent patients

The goal of the paper is to study the gender characteristics of the electrophysiological parameters of the heart in young and middle-aged patients with alcohol dependence. Materials and Methods. This study included 50 alcohol-dependent patients (mean age 38.5±6.3): among them 25 women (mean age 39.8±6.2) and 25 men (mean age 37.1±6.2). All the patients were treated in Ulyanovsk Regional Clinical Drug Treatment Hospital. All alcohol-dependent patients were diagnosed with abstinence syndrome after previous alcohol excess. The examination did not include patients over 50 years of age, patients with cardiovascular pathologies and cardiac arrhythmias. Results. Gender differences between examined parameters of heart electrical remodeling were characterized by predominance of men with a longer latest alcohol excess (p
