Answer:

  • Alcoholic cardiomyopathy
  • Irregular heartbeat
  • Atrial fibrillation causing blood clots in the heart that can lead to stroke
  • Ventricular tachycardia causing damage to the heart muscle and causing the heart to contract too much and not get enough blood to the rest of the body and the brain
  • Strokes when the brain doesn’t get enough blood
