Webinar quality, patients' rights
Dear friends of AICARM,
the presence at the second AICARM webinar of Professor Gianfranco Sinagra, president of the Italian Society of Cardiology and international reference in the research and treatment of Dilated Cardiomyopathies, shows the level of reputation that our Association has been able to achieve. Thanks to the commitment of Dr. Niccolò Maurizi, our intention is to continue organizing meetings of this level that strengthen the trust of our community but also of all those, increasingly numerous, who participate in the seminars and training spaces. We will always give you a brief summary of the webinars in the newsletter.

Alcohol and the Heart: What You Need to Know to Stay Healthy
Alcohol and the Heart: What You Need to Know to Stay Healthy
Many of us indulge in a drink or a glass of wine to relax or celebrate, but when alcohol consumption becomes excessive and prolonged over time, it can have serious consequences for the heart. One of these is the alcoholic cardiomyopathy, a potentially life-threatening disease in which prolonged consumption of large amounts of alcohol weakens the heart muscle. The heart becomes less effective at pumping blood, leading, if untreated, to arrhythmias, and enlargement of the chambers and subsequent heart failure.
The good news? This condition is preventable and, in many cases, even reversible with the right lifestyle changes. Let's find out what you need to know.

Pedaling with Heart: E-Bike for Cardiac Health
AICARM has launched a pilot project to promote heart health. It is called “Pedalando con il cuore” (Pedaling with the heart) and consists of a two-day e-bike tour through the Crete Senesi. The goal is to promote physical activity that improves the quality of life of patients. This experiment involves 10 participants followed by specialized doctors and is preliminary to the organization of a large event planned for next September to involve a large number of people and attract partners.
