@jigglejaws94 - I have one but it's made by Abbott and works a bit differently than what you described. I use an app on my phone to report incidents, and the Heart Rhythm Clinic at the local hospital, where I had it implanted in February, checks that recording but apparently only about every 3 days or so. I get a notification when that has happened.

I'm in a remote area with an understaffed rural hospital, so it's often a while after that before they check the report. I notified them by sending Fitbit app screenshots when I had the first recorded AFib incidents and subsequent ones, but they called me after those and after a scary drop in my heart rate while I was asleep.

Mine was implanted to try to find out what had been causing intermittent, brief episodes of blindness in both eyes for years -- no notice as with some kinds of migraines. (I voluntarily stopped driving beyond my neighborhood so I wouldn't cause a crash and kill someone. No longer being able to drive is a life-changer, but not in a good way.) It had taken me 11 years to get any doctor to take that seriously, but the cardiologist I have now likes to solve mysteries, so she made it happen.

An MRI not long ago seems to indicate that the blindness episodes are related to my heart-pumping problems. Probably.

The implant procedure required only anesthetic and maybe something to keep me calm (but I have bradycardia, so such things are not advisable). It took maybe an hour, max.

But for the MRI, I had to confirm with Abbott that the model I have implanted is safe for those. MRIs use magnets, and the loop recorder aka implanted cardiac monitor is metal. Some models are OK for MRIs now, but only if the MRI techs use a certain one or two types of MRIs. So it's critical that all people involved need to check and double-check before the day of the MRI. Otherwise, it could be deadly. You also need to make sure that anyone doing any kind of radiology exams or surgery know you have it. I've had techs do x-rays who hadn't noticed that on my medical record. It is NOT prominent.

I've had 4 Zio "patch" tests over a few years before -- devices taped to your upper chest for 2 weeks to monitor your heart, then techs read the results. Basically, that's the same thing that the loop recorder does, although it can keep doing what it does for 3-4 years. So if a condition is serious but long time spans between episodes, that's when it's a good choice.

I'm glad I have it, because doctors now believe this happens to me and take it more seriously. I just wish they had a decade sooner, because things would almost certainly have turned out better for me and my heart.
