Implantable loop recorder: evaluation of unexplained syncope.
Syncope is a relatively common occurrence in the general population accounting for up to 6% of hospital medical admissions and at least 3% of accident and emergency visits each year. 2 In a proportion of cases, syncope continues to pose a clinical dilemma despite the development of new diagnostic techniques. Mortality and serious morbidity associated with syncope are generally low overall but o...
متن کاملReliability of an external loop recorder for automatic recognition and transtelephonic ECG transmission of atrial fibrillation.
In order to test a newly developed algorithm for detecting atrial fibrillation in clinical practice, we carried out parallel recordings using a conventional 24-h electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor and telemonitoring with an external loop recorder. Recordings were made in 24 patients with persistent atrial fibrillation and in another 24 patients with sinus rhythm. Atrial fibrillation was detected i...
متن کاملMigration of an implantable loop recorder into the pleural space
Introduction Implantable loop recorders (ILRs) are most commonly used in patients with unexplained palpitations or syncope as well as suspected or known atrial fibrillation. The device most commonly being used today is the Medtronic Reveal LINQ (Minneapolis, MN); with a volume of,1.2 cc, it is designed for insertion using a greatly simplified technique. Specifically, the ILR is provided preload...
متن کاملRecurrent syncope in a patient with an implantable loop recorder: what is the diagnosis?
A 76-year-old woman with a history of hypertension and mastectomy for breast carcinoma was referred for evaluation of recurrent syncope. She characterized a typical episode as a sudden loss of consciousness without a prodrome. There was no sensation of fatigue after the events. Her medical regimen consisted of amlodipine and a hydrochlorothiazide/triamterene combination. Results of physical exa...
متن کاملInitial Clinical Experience With Ambulatory Use of an Implantable Atrial Defibrillator for Conversion of Atrial Fibrillation
Background—A recent study has shown that the implantable atrial defibrillator can restore sinus rhythm in patients with recurrent atrial fibrillation when therapy was delivered under physician observation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ambulatory use of the implantable atrial defibrillator. Methods and Results—An atrial defibrillator was implanted in 105...
