[Rhythm disorders in gallstones].
In this study, I analyzed the principal rhythm disorders which I found in gallstone.


OBJECTIVE
The objective was to find if the rhythm disorders are in relationship with gallstone or not.


METHODS
From 1122 patients with gallstone and heart diseases--261 had rhythm disorders. All of these were examined: physical examinations, abdominal echography and ECG.


RESULTS
23.26% from the patients had rhythm disorders, especially sinusal tachycardia and atrial fibrillation.


CONCLUSIONS
I approximate that a quarter from the patients with gallstone can develop rhythm disorders.
