Key result
Gallstone disease was significantly associated with newly diagnosed coronary artery atherosclerotic disease, with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.59.

May warrant closer CV monitoring in gallstone patients; leaves open causality and need for prospective validation.

Is gallstone disease associated with newly diagnosed coronary artery atherosclerotic disease in patients undergoing coronary angiography?
Odds Ratio: 1.59 (95% CI 1.1–2.31)
p-value: p=<0.05
Gallstone disease is independently associated with angiographically confirmed coronary artery disease, suggesting these patients may warrant closer cardiovascular risk monitoring.
Jiang et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary Artery Atherosclerotic Disease (CAD) (n=1,270). Gallstone disease vs. No gallstone disease was evaluated on Diagnosis of CAD (≥50% diameter stenosis in any major coronary artery on coronary angiography) (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.10-2.31, p=<0.05). Gallstone disease was significantly associated with newly diagnosed coronary artery atherosclerotic disease, with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.59.
