Individuals with chronic alcohol use can be asymptomatic for a prolonged period of time and then exhibit signs of advanced heart and liver diseases with an abrupt onset. Herein, we present a case of a 60-year-old male with severe alcohol use disorder who presented with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF) with rapid ventricular response (RVR), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and alcohol-associated cirrhosis following an episode of binge drinking.
Keywords: alcohol use disorder; alcohol-associated cirrhosis; atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response; cirrhotic cardiomyopathy; dilated cardiomyopathy.
