Gallstones could lead to increased heart disease risk, says study

The study shows people who are relatively healthy from the outside are at increased risk of developing heat disease if they've suffered from gallstones in the past.A massive study has revealed a connection between gallstones and an increased risk of heart disease even in those who seem relatively healthy.The study, conducted by Lu Qi, professor of epidemiology at Tulane University in New Orleans, involved examining nearly 840,000 people who have a history of gallstones and found that there was a 23 percent chance they would develop heart disease over the next few decades, according to The Telegraph.The more alarming part of this result was that there was no link with obesity, diabetes or high blood pressure – the common causes of developing heart disease.
