Typically a diagnosis is achieved prior to 3 year battery depletion. The device cannot induce any type of arrhythmia. A pacemaker is considered if bradycardia, ( slow heart rhythm) is discovered on device. Often times symptoms occur, the device is checked and the rhythm is normal. Thus ruling out arrhythmia as cause.
Had one implanted today and I am VERY upset because I feel that mine is up too far and is sitting diagonally over the sternum! I will be contacting the surgeon in the morning. This is NOT where I was told that it would be and I am NOT going to keep this if this is how it is going to feel!
@@joannacoffman6784 nope! It took about a week to get used to, the only pain I was in was right after surgery but within 2 days it went away. And I’ve had no other issues with it

How long you have to way to take a regular shower afer the loop is inserted?
Seems almost too good to be true. But, can the device provoke dysrhythmias in and of itself?
No

Can you please update if you got it fixed and does it feel okay now?
I am not sure if any of the heart patients have their implant loop recorder replaced every 3 years
Sorprendida deber esto!
got this implanted in 2022, can’t feel it at all anymore!
so the time you had it in you have much pain are problems

would i still need a pacemaker fitted ?
This is only to diagnose not treatment in anyway. So depends on what type of arrthymia they find out
