Abstract:
A precise correlation of patient symptoms and rhythm disturbances is a formidable task, especially when the rhythm disturbances are infrequent and unexpected. An ILR device that can record events over a longer period of time may be the most effective way of making a diagnosis and of ultimately determining an appropriate treatment plan. The Reveal ILR can establish patient symptom/rhythm correlation during a spontaneous event, leading to a diagnosis of the underlying condition. Additionally, the device may reduce the need for repetitive low-yielding testing and decrease the time and costs associated with the diagnosis of unexplained recurrent syncope.
