Abstract
Background: This manuscript describes the first known cases of sick sinus syndrome (SSS) associated with the use of anlotinib in non-small cell lung cancer patients, highlighting the need for increased vigilance and cardiac monitoring.
Case summary: Two patients with non-small cell lung cancer developed SSS after 15 months and 5 months of anlotinib treatment, respectively, presenting with syncope and palpitations. Electrocardiogram confirmed SSS, and different treatment approaches were taken for each patient. One patient received a dual-chamber permanent pacemaker, while the other discontinued the medication and experienced symptom resolution.
Conclusion: Anlotinib can induce SSS, suggesting that cardiac monitoring is crucial during anlotinib treatment. Individualized management strategies are necessary for affected individuals.
期刊介绍:
The World Journal of Clinical Cases (WJCC) is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJCC is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of clinical cases. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJCC is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJCC are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in clinical cases.
