Heart abnormalities are frequent in malnourished patients with AN, particularly in AN-BP type. Both liver enzymes and body composition abnormalities tended to be associated with heart dysfunction (non-significant association). Prospective studies are needed to better characterize and describe the evolution of cardiac abnormalities during the refeeding period and subsequent weight restoration.
