Abstract
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is associated with numerous cardiac abnormalities including bradyarrythmias, decreased myocardial mass and function, and pericardial effusions. This patient population has an increased mortality rate in comparison to other psychiatric illnesses. Cardiac evaluation of patients with anorexia nervosa generally involves routine ECG and transthoracic echocardiography. Little is known on the role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) for the noninvasive characterization of cardiac abnormalities in this patient cohort. The objective of this study is to characterize baseline CMR findings in adolescent patients who have been diagnosed with severe anorexia nervosa.
