What is an Implantable Cardiac Monitor?

An implantable cardiac monitor, sometimes called a loop recorder, is a small device placed just under the skin of the chest. It continuously records the heart’s electrical activity over months or even years.

Why is it Used?

Patients with unexplained fainting, dizziness, palpitations, or cryptogenic stroke may benefit from long-term rhythm monitoring.

How is it Placed?

The device is implanted during a simple outpatient procedure under local anesthesia and transmits data wirelessly to your care team.
