ABSTRACT: Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke (IS). Its diagnosis can be challenging, particularly for paroxysmal forms. This study aims to compare the ...

Background: The implantable loop recorder (ILR) is the most sensitive method for detecting atrial fibrillation (AF) following a cryptogenic stroke. However, to date, no study has demonstrated that it ...

Experts note that implantable loop recorders are valuable for detecting infrequent arrhythmias and guiding anticoagulation decisions post-cryptogenic stroke or atrial fibrillation ablation, but due to ...

Background False-positive (FP) alerts from implantable loop recorders increase clinical workload and may delay appropriate intervention. AccuRhythm AI, a cloud-based filtering algorithm, is designed ...

Background: A relaxation of the prohibition of scanning cardiac rhythm device patients is underway, largely because of the growing experience of safe scanning events at 1.5T. Magnetic resonance ...

The Medtronic LINQ device is a revolutionary implantable cardiac monitor designed to detect and track irregular heart rhythms like arrhythmias. Unlike traditional external monitors, the LINQ device is ...

Introduction: Continuous electrocardiographic monitoring using an implantable loop recorder (ILR) can facilitate the detection of asymptomatic atrial fibrillation episodes. At our institution, ILRs ...

LONDON, England—New research has identified several high-risk variables associated with the need for a new permanent pacemaker after TAVI for aortic stenosis. None on the list are among the more ...
