Abstract:
The paper reports 6 cases of calculous cholecystitis accompanied with coronary heart disease, All of them had angina attacks before cholecystectomy,And angina was often induced by biliary colic. Electrocaraio graphics showed that the coronary bloodsupplies of these cases were insufficicnt. these patients had been followed for 6 months to 11.5 years after operation(average 3.5 years). Angina disappeared completely in 4 cases and deminished in 2 cases. ECG abnormalities complerely recovcd in 2 cased, improved in 2 and remained unchanged in 2. One of 6 cases who had suffered from atrial premature best and atria lfibrillation for 9 years had no attack after cholecystectomy. The cardiac status improved in all of them. According to the above observations it is suggested that the coexisting of calculous cholecystitis and coronary heart disease is not in contrndication to cholecystectomy. Such cases should be treated with elective cholecystectomy as early as possible under well preoperative preparation This not only can treat and prevent cholelithiasis and its complications, but also may improve the condition and prognosis of coronary heart disease.
