Electrocardiographic abnormalities, most commonly T-wave inversions, were observed in 43% of patients with cholecystitis and 34% of patients with cholangitis.

Does cholecystitis or cholangitis cause electrocardiographic changes in patients without underlying cardiovascular disease?
Electrocardiographic changes, particularly T-wave abnormalities, are common in acute cholecystitis and cholangitis and normalize after treatment, highlighting the need to differentiate cardio-biliary reflexes from primary cardiac ischemia.
Summary: Introduction: Electrocardiographic (ECG) changes associated with biliary diseases, including cholecystitis and cholangitis, have been sporadically reported; however, detailed observational data remain scarce. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of ECG abnormalities in patients with cholecystitis and cholangitis, and to identify associated clinical factors.
Muroya et al. (Thu,) conducted a observational in Cholecystitis and Cholangitis (n=190). Electrocardiographic abnormalities, most commonly T-wave inversions, were observed in 43% of patients with cholecystitis and 34% of patients with cholangitis.
