Answer:

Dilated cardiomyopathy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The client is most likely experiencing dilated cardiomyopathy because it is a heart illness that is caused by alcohol, consumption of cocaine or other drugs, and family history. This type of cardiomyopathy is characterized by the enlargement of the heart, and consequently, its failure to pump blood efficiently.
