A combination of complete left bundle branch block (LBBB) and symmetrical negative T waves on the ECG characterizes the Chattergee syndrome. This pattern is infrequently and fortuitously detected in the absence of clinical symptoms. However, when appearing during general anaesthesia, it may lead to diagnostic difficulties to rule out a myocardial ischaemia. One case of this pattern was observed near the end of an otherwise non-complicated cholecystectomy in a ASA II 45 year old man, ECG abnormalities lasted for only a short time. Recovery and outcome were uneventful. Investigations were negative except for an early LBBB during the exercise test. Echocardiography and coronarography were normal. No therapy was given. In such perioperative cases, it is recommended to keep a very cautious attitude and to search for an incipient coronary disease which cannot be completely excluded in some cases.
