Abstract

Few organ systems are spared the progressive deterioration seen in this disease. Most medical complications are the result of starvation and can be reversed with a well-planned refeeding program. A potentially catastrophic treatment complication is the refeeding syndrome, in which the demands that a repleted circulatory system places on a nutritionally depleted cardiac mass result in cardiovascular collapse.
