Abstract:
Objective To investigate the incidence, causes, management and prognosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) after operation of esophagus cancer(EC)and lung cancer(LC). Methods The patients of postoperative AF following EC and LC surgery between December 2004 and May 2006 were taken into EC group and LC group. Results AF occurred in 27 patients ( 11.2%) of EC and in 18 patients (5.6%) of LC. The duration of operating and the level of urine catecholamine within the first two days after operation in the EC group were higher than those of the LC group (P0.05). All patients had been cured. Conclusions The EC predominate over the LC in the incidence of AF after operation; the early medicine treatment needs to be advisable to patients, and the patients of LC can be treated with removing causes at first.
