Popis: Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a life-saving nutritional therapy for those situations when patients are unable to receive enteral nutrition. However, despite a multitude of benefits offered by PN, it is associated with a variety of side effects, most notably parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD). Adverse effects of PN on other organ systems, such as brain and cardiovascular system, have been poorly studied. There have been several case reports, studies, and a recent animal study highlighting cardiotoxic effects of PN; however, much remains unclear about the underlying mechanisms causing cardiac damage. In this review, we propose a series of potential mechanisms behind PN-associated heart injury, and we provide an overview of therapeutic strategies and recent scientific advances.
