Implantable loop recorder screening for atrial fibrillation did not significantly reduce the risk for stroke compared with usual care, according to study results published in JAMA Neurology ...

Long-term rhythm monitoring in a trial revealed six times as much bradycardia as was diagnosed in a usual-care clinical setting. What are the management implications?

The tool, called a cardiac loop recorder, is a small, implantable device that continuously records a patient’s heart rhythm.

Three weeks ago, Gonzalez implanted the loop recorder device -- which is approximately one-third the size of a AAA battery, making it more than 80 percent smaller than other monitors -- just ...

Implantable loop recorders are used to detect atrial fibrillation in patients at high risk for stroke, but can produce false-positive results, so the algorithm (ILR ECG Analyzer) uses artificial ...

Using an implantable loop recorder (ILR) to screen older individuals for atrial fibrillation (AF) may be more beneficial when NT-proBNP levels are high, according to a post hoc analysis of the LOOP ...

Many insertable cardiac monitors, known as ICMs or loop recorders, are already able to stay in place under the skin for several years at a time, enabling long-term tracking of irregular heartbeats ...

2 bonobos are first in world to receive implanted loop recorders Heart disease is a leading killer of humans, so it should not be that big a surprise that it is also the leading killer of great apes.

Researchers tested two continuous ECG monitoring approaches post-TAVR -- one using skin patches over 14 days, the other implantable loop recorders (ILRs) over 1 year -- in separate studies ...
