Abstract:
Implantable loop recorders are used to detect abnormal arrhythmias in patients with unexplained syncope. These devices capture paradoxical episodes of atrial fibrillation and may be helpful for patients with unexplained stroke. Nurses should be familiar with safety and care instructions and take precautions surrounding diagnostic testing in patients with these devices.
