Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Delmar's symptoms are consistent with holiday heart syndrome, which is an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) caused by excessive alcohol consumption, commonly observed during holidays or vacations. Cardiomyopathy can also result from excessive alcohol consumption but does not necessarily result in an irregular heartbeat. Bradycardia refers to a slow heartbeat, which is not consistent with Delmar's symptoms. Alcohol-related heart disorder is not a recognized medical term.
