Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) were analysed using joinpoint regression to calculate average annual percentage change (AAPC) with 95% confidence intervals. A parallelism test was used to compare trends via pairwise joinpoint regression analysis. From 2012 to 2020, 504 096 subjects (387 387 men and 116 709 women) died from AC, equating to 634.5 deaths per 100 000 population. The relative AAMR decreased over the study period [AAPC: \u22124.7% (95% CI: \u22125.4 to \u22123.9), P &amp;lt; 0.001], especially in women compared with men (p for parallelism = 0.006). The decrease in AC-attributable mortality was greater among subjects aged 70 years and older compared with those younger than 70 (p for parallelism 0.001). The AAMRs for the AC-attributable mortality decreased in all European subregions except in the South. Analysis of the WHO NCD dataset revealed an average annual alcohol consumption of 10.8L in 2012 and 9.9L in 2020 in Europe, reflecting an approximately 8.3% decrease.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Alcoholic cardiomyopathy-attributable mortality in Europe has declined over the past decade, paralleling a reduction in alcohol consumption.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ehjqcco\/qcaf036","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,30]],"date-time":"2025-05-30T07:46:53Z","timestamp":1748591213000},"page":"1082-1090","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Alcoholic cardiomyopathy-attributed mortality in Europe, 2012\u201320"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4559-1292","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco","family":"Zuin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Translational Medicine, University of Ferrara , Via Luigi Borsari 46, Ferrara 44100 ,","place":["Italy"]},{"name":"Department of Cardio-Thoraco-Vascular Sciences and Public Health, University of Padova , Padua 35128 ,","place":["Italy"]},{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Madre Teresa di Calcutta Hospital , AULSS 6, Ospedali Riuniti Padova Sud, Monselice 35040 ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fernando","family":"Dom\u00ednguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Heart Failure and Inherited Cardiac Diseases Unit, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, IDIPHISA, CIBERCV , Manuel de Falla, 2, Majadahonda, Madrid 28222 ,","place":["Spain"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chiara","family":"Dalla Valle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, West Vicenza General Hospital , Arzignano 36071 ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alessandro","family":"Maloberti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiac Rehabilitation Unit, Cardiology 4, ASST Grande Ospedale Metropolitano Niguarda , Milano 20162 ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catia","family":"De Rosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Ospedale Mauriziano Umberto I , Torino 10128 ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Mojoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Ospedale Santa Maria Degli Angeli, Azienda Sanitaria Friuli Occidentale (ASFO) , Pordenone 33170 ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Massimiliano","family":"Rizzo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Policlinico Umberto I , Roma 00161 ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Ciccirillo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Ospedale Vito Fazzi , Lecce 73100 ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alfredo","family":"Madrid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, AORN Cardarelli , Napoli 80131 ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3474-0579","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudio","family":"Bilato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, West Vicenza General Hospital , Arzignano 36071 ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0160-3674","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carmine","family":"Riccio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiovascular Department, Sant'Anna e San Sebastiano Hospital , Caserta 81100 ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9347-8884","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Massimo","family":"Grimaldi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Ospedale Generale Regionale \u2018F.
