Improved Arrhythmia Detection in Implantable Loop Recorders

Introduction: Implantable loop recorders (ILR) have an automatic arrhythmia detection feature that can be compromised by inappropriately detected episodes. This study evaluated a new ILR sensing and detection scheme for automatically detecting asystole, bradyarrhythmia, and tachyarrhythmia events, which is implemented in the next generation device (Reveal DX/XT).

Comparison of electrocardiogram and intrathoracic electrogram signals for detection of ischemic ST segment changes during normal sinus and ventricular paced rhythms.

ST Segment Changes in ECG and EGM Signals. Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare surface ECGs with electrograms (EGM) that are available from implanted devices for the ability to detect ischemic ST segment changes during normal sinus (NS) and ventricular paced (VP) rhythms.
