Abstract

The Reveal LINQ is a miniaturized insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) with wireless telemetry for remote monitoring of patients with suspected arrhythmias. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the functionality of the Reveal LINQ system by measuring R-wave sensing and data transmission. The Reveal LINQ Usability Study was a nonrandomized, prospective, multicenter trial. The study enrolled 30 patients with any indication for an ICM. Data were collected at baseline, implantation, and 1-month follow-up visits and through daily wireless transmissions. Thirty patients were enrolled and had a Reveal LINQ device implanted. The mean age was 55 ± 15 years. All patients had successful implantation of the ICM in one of the recommended locations. Ease of implantation procedure was rated as easy or very easy for 90% of implantations. R-wave amplitudes were 0.584 ± 0.325 mV at implantation and 0.596 ± 0.336 mV at 1 month (P = .8). Automatic transmissions were successful 79.5% (69.5%-86.9%) of the time. Transmission failures that caused a delay in data transfer occurred because of incomplete data reception or patients being out of range in 45% and 42% of instances, respectively. For all patients, transmission failures were followe...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Bradyarrhythmias

Bradyarrhythmias are slow heart rates. Symptoms may include syncope, dizziness, fatigure, shortness of breath, and chest pains. Find the latest research on bradyarrhythmias here.
