I had Medtronic pacemaker installed in August and wonder how much I should rely on its reports. I had a very brief fallout in night one or two weeks after surgery but interrogation group told me monitor didn’t catch the incident. When I mentioned this to my cardiologist in a visit and asked why it’s not shown in report, he didn’t answer. My first Medtronic report shows that I have about 9% AFib and cardiologist suggested me to have an ablation. I’m taking Sotalol now and waiting my second pacemaker report due in mid of next month. I will consider ablation if medication doesn’t work for me and I can fully trust numbers in the report. Does anyone have good experience with pacemaker reports? Thank you!

I have Medtronic Loop recorder implanted (it only monitors and doesn’t pace). I get monthly reports and they always show normal results but I do not believe them. I have 3 other devices such as Apple Watch that show a variety of heart rate and rhythm aberrations but my cardiologist just blows them off. I’ve asked to see some of the raw data or EKG graphs instead of the summary reports from my Medtronic monitor but he refuses. Anyone else distrust their Medtronic device?
