METHOD FOR PREDICTING CARDIAC COMPLICATIONS FOLLOWING CHOLECYSTECTOMY IN PATIENTS WITH CHOLELITHIASIS

摘要

A method for predicting cardiac complications following cholecystectomy in the patients with cholelithiasis comprises assessment of the risk factors suggesting postoperative cardiac complications (surgery of high risk, ischemic heart disease, congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, preoperative administration of insulin, creatinine level below 176.8 µM). The concomitant endocrine pathology is also assessed. The detection of non-compensated endocrine pathology combined with any two risk factors stated above suggests the probable cardiac complications following cholecystectomy in the patients with cholelithiasis.
