Comparative Analysis in Detection of Atrial Arrhythmia and ECG Quality in Three Different Insertable Cardiac Monitors

Comparative Analysis in Detection of Atrial Arrhythmia and ECG Quality in Three Different Insertable Cardiac Monitors

Comparative Analysis in Detection of Atrial Arrhythmia and Electrogram Quality in Three Different Insertable Cardiac Monitors

Comparative analysis of available ILR devices models Abbot Confirm RxTM, Medtronic Reveal LINQTM, and Biotronik BIOMONITOR., evaluating detection performance and effective of transmission of these devices to better understand the differences between them.

All devices have different algorithms for arrhythmia detection and structural design. Consequently, these devices vary in sensitivity of arrhythmia detection and data transmission.Therefore, we aim to expand a comparative analysis of available devices, evaluating detection performance and effective of transmission of these devices to better understand the differences between them.

All patients enrolled will be randomized to have one of three ILR devices implanted (BIOMONITOR III, Reveal LinQ, or Confirm RX) and will be given event monitoring device for concurrent evaluation.

Inclusion Criteria: Patients > 18 years of age with appropriate indication for ILR for atrial arrhythmia management. Exclusion Criteria: Inability to give consent
