Eating Disorders And Cardiovascular Diseases
Eating disorders (EDs) affect all organ systems but
cardiovascular system complications are important because of the impact on
morbidity and mortality. The association between cardiovascular issues and EDs
predominantly arises from nutritional deficiencies, with individuals diagnosed with Anorexia
Nervosa are most often at greatest risk of structural and functional cardiac abnormalities. As in
patients with Bulimia Nervosa, other cardiovascular abnormalities secondary to electrolyte
imbalances also occur. EDs that have been newly defined, such as Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake
Disorder and Binge Eating Disorder, may also have distinct cardiovascular
complications, although more research is needed to fully understand their characteristics and
seriousness.
