[|Human|] My ex husband is in fantastic physical shape due to working out all these years.  However, he is 66 and is an high functioning alcholic that just had triple by pass. Did his acholic behavior cause the heart problem or could it be genectic.  None of his parents or grand parents had heart disease?
[|AI|]  Helloheart disease is a multifactorial disease. That means it is influenced by genetic as well as environmental factors. In addition, risk factors also play an important role. Risk factors are improper diet, smoking, high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, age, male sex etc. alcohol directly doesn't cause a coronary artery disease, but it may cause other heart diseases like weakening of muscles of the heart, heart failure. So alcohol in addition to other risk factors plans a role.  Chat Doctor.  He is also at the risk of affecting his liver, pancreas with alcohol. Thank you
