A technical report initially describes the cardiovascular changes that accompany suboptimal nutritional status, including an under- or over-abundance of essential nutrients and pediatric atherosclerosis. This is followed by an examination of somatic and nutritional changes that occur in children whose initial problem is cardiac in nature. Topics include: the heart in suboptimal nutritional states; vitamin, mineral, and trace element imbalances; the characteristics and pathophysiology of atherosclerosis; and the nutritional status of and energy metabolism in children with heart disease. Factors influencing dietary therapy are discussed.(wz)
