Risks to the heart associated with being underweight include:
Anemia, the capacity for blood to carry oxygen is decreased due to low iron content and thus the heart receives less then the proper amount of oxygen it needs.
Arrhythmias, because the body does not get enough calories to function it modifies common activities such as heart rate. Decreased heart rate leads to low blood pressure, both of which can led to heart failure.
