Weight loss, anorexia, failure to thrive. All associated with presence of atherosclerosis in other vascular beds, or the presence of cardiac dysrhythmia (i.e. atrial fibrillation) or severe left ventricular dysfunction Pain, bloating, early satiety following ingestion of food and/or liquids Avoidance of eating due to predictable abdominal pain, often resulting in more frequent eating of small amounts of food Specify the amount of weight loss in pounds or kilograms Due to inadequate caloric intake to meet metabolic demands, as well as dehydration, the patient manifests malnutrition.
