Home Monitoring of Implantable Remote Loop Recorders Expedites Intervention
Journal Title: Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiology - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
A70 year old woman had a Reveal LINQ (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) implantable loop recorder (ILR) implanted to investigate a cardiac cause of syncope.Due to the ability of this device to utilise home monitoring, early detection of a significant bradycardia allowed early intervention with permanent pacing before any further episodes of syncope occurred.This highlights the utility of home monitoring with newer generation ILRs.
