Abstract
Junctional Escape and Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia with Acute Cholecystitis
Constantine A Manthous
Background:Bradycardias have been reported (rarely) associated with acute cholecystitis.
Data extraction: We here present the first reported case in which acute cholecystitis was associated with self-limited episodes of slow junctional escape (40/min) and marked sinus arrhythmia.
Conclusion: Brady-arrhythmias have been associated with acute biliary disease consistent with the putative mechanism of the “cardiobiliary reflex”, i.e., marked vagotonia.
