Abstract
According to the literature data, gallbladder (GB) condition influences the course of coronary heart disease (CHD) and parameters of heart structure and function. The aim of this work was to estimate the peculiarities of heart condition in patients with CHD (acute myocardial infarction) in dependence of GB condition. We held a retrospective analysis of data of 142 patients. Results. It was revealed that in 83.7 % patients GB was changed: cholelithiasis (34.5 %), past cholecystectomy due to cholelithiasis (7.0 %), sludge and poliposis (17.6 %), bent GB body (13.4 %), neck deformations and signs of past cholecystitis (14.8 %). GB changes were accompanied by significant increase of heart rate, which was the most prominent in case of cholelithiasis, neck deformations and past cholecystitis signs. Conclusions. Pathological conditions of GB were accompanied by left ventricle dilatation, aortic distension, significant decrease of ejection fraction and systolic dysfunction, whereas after GB removal sizes of heart chambers were close to optimal values, although the systolic function did not normalize. Keywords: gallbladder, coronary heart disease, sludge, cholecystitis, heart structure.
