Afib and heart monitor

I am not sure what a implanted loop heart monitor is. But I have had a ICD/Pacemaker device that records the electrical activity of my heart. I have a home monitor that sits next to my bed. When the device sees an arrythmia (programmed) it will automatically send a report to my pace clinic at Mayo.

I can also do it manually if I feel something and want it check. Then every 3 months regardless of any events or episodes the device sends a report to my electrophysiologist pace clinic who reviews the read for the last 3 months. Once a year I have to go in to pace clinic where they check the functions of the wires.

Just so you know:
A loop recorder is not typically monitored in real-time, meaning it doesn't continuously send every heartbeat signal to a doctor. Instead, it continuously records heart rhythm and only transmits data when it detects an abnormal event or at scheduled intervals, allowing for review later by a healthcare provider; essentially, it acts as a long-term heart monitor that stores data for analysis when needed.
It's a pretty standard recommendation. I refused it about 21 months ago after one dizzy event that turned out to be unrelated to my heart. We are all different, but in my case I felt that my cardiologist was rushing me into it. Check out the downsides of everything. Fortunately, I made the right decision for my situation.

I had an episode of atrial flutter. I needed a cardioversion to restore a normal rhythm. I started on metoprolol, losartan and Eliquis. 3 months later I had a cardiac loop monitor placed. It records any episodes automatically. It connects by Bluetooth to my cell phone using an app. If I notice any symptoms, I record them using the app on my phone. Every few months it automatically sends a report to my cardiologist for review. It may need a new battery every 3 years or so. I am also taking Eliquis/apixaban to prevent blood clots. So far I have had no episodes and feel confident knowing that I have the monitor ready to record any new symptoms. I hope that you find answers to all of your questions moving forward. God bless you.
