The Cardiac Stress and Electrocardiographic Changes Caused by Lung Cancer Surgery

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Lung Cancer, Surgery, Arrhythmia, Myocardial Ischemia

In brief

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.
