Alcoholic Myopathy in Heart and Skeletal Muscle
Abstract
EXCESSIVE consumption of alcohol was known to be related to liver disease before the time of Hippocrates, but the recognition of alcohol-related diseases that affect cardiac and skeletal muscle is only about a century old. Alcohol use was suggested as a contributing factor to heart disease as early as 1855,1 and in 1884, Bollinger,2 in a discussion about cardiac hypertrophy in habitual beer drinkers, noted that "with excessive habitual use of beer, one has to take into account the direct effect of alcohol on the heart." Ten years later Steell3 reflected, "Not only do I now recognize alcoholism as one . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
