Why the study?
Does anorexia nervosa-induced reduction in left ventricular mass affect left ventricular chamber architecture, afterload, and pump function?
Does anorexia nervosa-induced reduction in left ventricular mass affect left ventricular chamber architecture, afterload, and pump function?
In patients with anorexia nervosa, significant reduction in left ventricular mass is accompanied by proportional remodeling that preserves normal chamber architecture, wall stress, and systolic function.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Suggests adaptive remodeling preserves LV function in anorexia nervosa; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation.
Sutton et al. (1985) studied this question.
