Loop Recorder Implantation

An implantable loop recorder, or ILR, is a heart recording device that is inserted into the body under the skin of the chest. It can be put to a variety of uses. The most frequent ones involve searching for the origins of palpitations, extremely rapid or slow heartbeats, and concealed rhythms that can result in strokes. Your heart doctor performs a quick operation known as a loop recorder implantation. The tiny device is positioned on your chest wall, just above the heart, beneath your skin. As an electrocardiogram (ECG), the device continuously gathers electrical signals from your heart. This can assist in identifying irregular heart rhythms that may be the root of a multitude of issues, including fainting. The loop recorder implantation service is available in Port Charlotte Cardiology.

Treatment varies depending on the specific cardiac rhythm disorder. It’s critical to ascertain the nature of any problems you may be experiencing. Similar to an ECG, an implanted loop recorder continuously logs data regarding your electrical activity. However, a loop recorder that is implanted can keep track of heartbeat for up to three years. It features automatic triggers for storing recordings and continuously loops recordings in its memory. Additionally, it can be passively activated to store recordings. The device records this data before, during, and after the fainting if you experienced an arrhythmia. A medical professional can then review the records to determine the cause.
