Insights
This study investigated ischemic heart disease (IHD) and gallstones in 1122 patients. Results show IHD is common in gallstone patients, particularly in women.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Gastroenterology
- Epidemiology
Background:
- Ischemic heart disease (IHD) and gallstones are prevalent conditions.
- Understanding comorbidities is crucial for patient management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the relationship between IHD and gallstone incidence.
- To determine the prevalence of IHD in patients with gallstones.
Main Methods:
- A study of 1122 patients with gallstones.
- Abdominal ultrasonography was used for gallstone examination.
- Physical examination and ECG were performed on 516 patients with IHD.
Main Results:
- 45.98% of patients with gallstones were found to have IHD.
- A significant association was observed between IHD and gallstones.
Conclusions:
- Ischemic heart disease and gallstones can coexist.
- The association between IHD and gallstones is 2.8 times more frequent in women.
Unlabelled:
I analyzed IHD and gallstone, in a study on 1122 patients.
Objectives:
The relation between IHD and gallstone incidence.
Methods:
In this study--516 patients had IHD, with physical examination and Ecg, from 1122 patients with gallstone which were examined abdominal ultrasonography.
Results:
I found that 45.98% from patients with gallstone had IHD.
Conclusions:
IHD can coexist with gallstone and the association between these two is 2.8 times more frequent in women.
