Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. Yes, cholecystectomy can be performed if there is no current heart disorder such as arrhythmias or low ejection fraction. So you can have surgery, but you should see cardiologist preoperative and anesthesiologist will judge if there is danger from general anesthesia and procedure. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
