Lung cancer surgery may stress the heart, new study investigates
NCT ID NCT05094843
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how modern, minimally invasive lung cancer surgery affects the heart's electrical signals. Researchers will monitor 100 adults before, during, and after surgery to see if temporary changes occur. The goal is to better understand the heart stress caused by the procedure.
