Disease causing inflamation of the nerves and heart failure (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beriberi

(Other definitions for beriberi that I've seen before include "Asian disease affecting the nerves and limbs" , "Disease (lack of vit. B1)" , "Asian disease due to vitamin B1 deficiency" , "Lack-of-vitamin-B disease" , "possible cause of heart failure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
