[The functional condition of the cardiovascular system and adaptation abilities in patients with calculous cholecystitis].

Clinical and functional evaluation of the cardiovascular system in patients with various clinical course of chronic calculous cholecystitis was carried out in pre- and postoperative period under conditions of muscle rest and allowable physical activity using treadmill test. Physical activity modeling found a range of potential complications, which are most characteristic of elderly patients as well as patients with coronary heart disease and postinfarction cardiosclerosis (PC). The study shows that operative intervention in patients with PC should be scheduled not only with the remoteness of the old myocardial infarction taken into account, but also considering the degree to which the heart has preserved its capability of adapting to stressful situations.
