Objective To analyze the perioperative safety and the short-term prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with preoperative arrhythmia. Methods The clinical data of NSCLC patients treated in the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from August 2020 to March 2021 were collected and observed. The patients were divided into an arrhythmia group and a control group according to whether there was arrhythmia in the 24 h ambulatory electrocardiogram examination report before operation. The incidence of intraoperative and postoperative cardiovascular events and short-term prognosis were compared between the two groups. Results  A total of 466 patients were included in this study, including 338 patients in the arrhythmia group, 176 males and 162 females, with a median age of 68.0 (63.0, 72.0) years, and 128 patients in the control group, 59 males and 69 females, with a median age of 66.5 (60.0, 72.0) years. A total of 26 patients (7.7%) in the arrhythmia group were placed with temporary pacemakers before operation. There was no significant difference in the incidence of cardiovascular related events between the two groups [100 (29.6%) vs. 28 (21.9%), P=0.096]. The incidence of postoperative arrhythmia events in the arrhythmia group was higher than that in the control group [112 (33.1%) vs. 11 (8.6%), P<0.001]. The average postoperative ICU stay in the arrhythmia group was longer than that in the control group (1.1±0.7 d vs. 1.0±0.6 d, P=0.039). Conclusion Preoperative arrhythmia does not increase the risk of intraoperative cardiovascular events in NSCLC patients, but increases the incidence of postoperative arrhythmia events and prolongs ICU stay.
