[Cardiac arrhythmias during an elective cholecystectomy]
Abstract:
The paper presents systemized literature data on cardiac arrhythmias (CA) associated with cholecystectomies. The authors present an analysis of CA in 101 patients with chronic calculous cholecystitis (CCC), registered before, during and after an elective cholecystectomy (the surgery was performed either through laparotomy or using endovideosurgical technique). The study revealed that cholecystectomy, especially laparatomic one, bore an arrythmogenic effect. Additional predictors of dangerous CA associated with surgical treatment of CCC, were presence of sinus tachycardia, bradycardia, ciliary arrhythmia, changes in the variability of heart rate, and preoperative heart enlargement.
