We studied the effects of ethanol and acetaldehyde on myocardial gene expression of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and growth of rats. Combined ethanol and calcium carbimide treatment increased blood-acetaldehyde levels and ANP mRNA levels by 40-60% in 2-8 day experiments, compared to the controls. The results suggest a role for acetaldehyde in the development of alcoholic heart dysfunction.
