SVT after NSCLC resection may identify higher-risk patients for closer follow-up; leaves open whether it is causal or modifiable.
Does early postoperative SVT occurrence reduce long-term survival in patients undergoing resection of non-small cell lung cancer?
Early postoperative supraventricular tachydysrhythmias after NSCLC resection are independently associated with a nearly threefold increased risk of poor long-term survival.
