Implanting the LUX-Dx Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM), Boston Scientific

Here is a shortened version of the insertion of the LUX-Dx Cardiac Monitor.
The insertable cardiac monitor is a small, leadless electronic device inserted just under the skin in the left pectoral region. It uses two electrodes to monitor the patient’s subcutaneous ECG (S-ECG) data when specific arrhythmias are detected.

I just had mine done a few hours ago…this video hurts more than the procedure .

Did they tell you any risks?

[@garrettmineo]
