I'm confused about what my loop recorder is actually doing!

First of all, is a loop recorder like a heart monitor? I ask because I have had a heart monitor but only for 3 days at the most and it basically it is supposed to monitor my irregular heartbeats as well as any other abnormalities that may arise with the heart monitor.
Having this loop recorder for 18 months is quite a long time and don't feel ignorant because you want to know more about it with your doctor. Your doctor is the specialists to advise you what this loop recorder is supposed to be doing for you.

I agree
Doctors at mayo and local cardiologist are putting a loop on my chest
My targeted therapy has Afib as a side effect and want to monitor . I also have Hypertrophic Myopathy.
I don’t have Afib but will do as doctors prescribed
In my case target therapy has worked well but if there is a problem I can’t take a blood thinner so will have to manage both conditions
