The Cardiac Stress and Electrocardiographic Changes Caused by Lung Cancer Surgery

The Cardiac Stress and Electrocardiographic Changes Caused by Lung Cancer Surgery.


Sponsor

Tampere University Hospital

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Mar 1, 2022

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

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.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is monitoring heart stress and changes in heart rhythm (via ECG, an electrical heart tracing) in patients undergoing minimally invasive lung cancer surgery. Researchers want to understand how surgery affects the heart so they can improve patient safety. **You may be eligible if...** - You are an adult patient scheduled for elective lung cancer surgery with curative intent - You are planned for minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery - You are willing to participate in the study **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are already enrolled in another clinical trial - You have a history of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter - You have a cardiac pacemaker - You have had prior heart conduction problems (bundle branch blocks) - You have had prior cardiac ablation procedures - You have had previous chest or heart surgery - Your surgery is expected to require open (not minimally invasive) surgery or removal of part of the chest wall Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
