[Autonomic regulation of the cardiovascular system in patients with chronic cholecystitis and hepatitis]

The authors studied the cardiac rhythm regulation status in 22 patients with chronic noncalculous cholecystitis, 35 patients with chronic calculous cholecystitis and 31 patients with chronic hepatitis. All the patients showed signs of sympathicotonic type of regulation of cardiac rhythm. Upon receiving propranolol (0.04), 67.8% of patients displayed no vegetative regulation, with 3.2% cases demonstrating a paradoxical trend of vegetative reactions.
