- Original description
Lung cancer surgery causes significant changes in the small circulation as well as changes in the intrathoracic anatomy. The effects of lung cancer surgery on electrocardiography and the cardiac stress associated with the procedures have not been previously extensively studied. The aim of the present study is to ascertain whether modern mini-invasive lung cancer surgery causes changes in the electrocardiogram, and whether these changes are transitory during short-term follow-up. Furthermore, the study aims to describe whether lung cancer surgery causes significant cardiac stress detectable by intraoperative electrocardiography.Read full original descriptionShow less
The Cardiac Stress and Electrocardiographic Changes Caused by Lung Cancer Surgery.
Lung cancer surgery causes significant changes in the small circulation as well as changes in the intrathoracic anatomy. The effects of lung cancer surgery on electrocardiography and the cardiac stress associated with the procedures have not been previously extensively studied. The aim of the present study is to ascertain whether modern mini-invasive lung cancer surgery causes changes in the electrocardiogram, and whether these changes are transitory during short-term follow-up. Furthermore, the study aims to describe whether lung cancer surgery causes significant cardiac stress detectable by intraoperative electrocardiography.
Inclusion: Adult patients scheduled for elective lung cancer surgery; Willing to participate in the study; Curatively aimed surgery; Preoperative decision for mini-invasive surgery.
Exclusion: Previous chronic or paroxysmal atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter; History of previous surgery in the thoracic area including open heart surgery; Preoperatively anticipated need for concomitant thoracic wall resection; Preoperatively anticipated need for open surgery; Cardiac pacemaker; History of cardiac conduction disturbances including bundle branch blocks; History of cardiac ablation procedures; Participation in any other clinical trial.
