Bradycardia: Cardiovascular Consequence of Anorexia Nervosa

Abstract

Eating disorders are health conditions that can have serious impacts on one's physical health.
They affect individuals across various age groups and genders and represent a significant
health concern that should not be taken lightly. This paper focuses on one specific eating
disorder, anorexia nervosa, which is often accompanied by medical complications resulting from
malnutrition. Among complications, cardiovascular issues, particularly bradycardia, are common
and potentially life-threatening. This paper will review the relationship between anorexia
nervosa and bradycardia, explore the methods used for diagnosing bradycardia, and explore
approaches to treatment in patients with eating disorders.
