Cardiomyopathy can be caused by viral infections, heart attacks, alcoholism, long-term severe high blood pressure, nutritional deficiencies (particularly selenium, thiamine, and L-carnitine), systemic lupus erythematosus, coliac disease, and end-stage kidney disease.
yes it can – alcoholic cardiomyopathy.

Cardiomyopathy is heart disease. I have it and mine was caused by a virus. It can be caused by other things. If you go to http://www.webmd.com/ you can get all sorts of information on this and you can ask professionals questions in there.
