A male patient aged 32 years, with a history of bronchial asthma from infancy. He began drinking alcohol at very small ages and as of 20 years of age, he presented with heart failure symptoms with dilated left ventricule and ejection fraction of the left ventricule of 49%, but this figure improved to 60 % after medical treatment. This was related to other symptoms, so the diagnosis was dilated myocardiopathy of possible toxic etiology (alcoholism). The health condition of the patient worsened, he deteriorated and finally died.

Palabras clave : myocardiopathies; myocarditis; clinical guidelines.
