Has anyone had an insertable Cardiac Monitor?

I hope you have a regular cardio or doctor that you are following up with. They are the best ones to ask about this. I imagine it is pretty scary. I have PAC's quite frequently and take a extended release Beta Blocker. It does help some but i still get them.

I have had mine now going on 3 years due to pvc. I was passing out right and left, but haven’t had an episode in a year now. How long do these things stay in? I was told you have to be a year free of incidents before removal but aren’t hey only good for 3 years? Help!

I discovered that the costs of my procedure in UKC Ljubljana were 4.400€, payed by obligatory insurance : shower, operating room and three doctors (a cardiologist and two registrars), local anaesthesia and instructions. Getting instructions during the procedure is really not a good idea. That is why I didn't understand much. The cardiologist was talking something about seven minutes, that is why I understood even less. My first control after the procedure is going to be on 2nd July and I am afraid the doctor shall cream at me again that I am a crazy woman because I made some marks before fainting and then I didn't actually faint. Maybe it is better to pay more and get a better attitude and surveillance.

Nice to hear from somebody who knows Slovenija. I am OK now with ICM but I have terrible time weaning mysef off Nexium I have been taking for 15 years. It seems that nexium is the source of my problem with faintings. It's the sixth week now and it seems to me that I shall succed. However, the first days od depriving nexium were awful with lots of heart events. And I also experience funny events with ICM: during storms with lots of lightings my heart becomes crazy as if ICM would serve as aerial. Is it possible?

This was the cost of my recent implant on 8 March, 2018. This includes an Echo that was done prior to implant. Could be done in Doctors office or clinic, but mine was done in Cath lab.

My cardio doc has 2 technicians that are experienced in this area. I will see them on 22 March and ask them your question. Just curious, do you have it pointed at foot of bed, and what is your signal strength, shows on display?

Mine was done in Pensacola, Florida at Baptist Hospital on 8 March 2018. Cost is almost $ 30,000. But it was done in Heart Cath lab, which drives up the cost. Should be done in outpatient setting, which is what my cardiologist EP stated. Simple procedure, local anthestic, went home in less than one hour. No pain, dressing came off on 11th, and Sterri strips came off yesterday. Works great. Battery life is good for years. Made by Medtronic, called the Reveal. Do Google search. Love Slovenia

the price of this procedure could be greatly reduced, having the procedure done in the Doctors office. The hospital my wife used just has a check off number that a surgery is a surgery is a surgery, their cost for the procedures just under $6000. , they provideed a receptionist who put a band on her wrist, an office, a scapel, linocaine, glue. They had none of their people in the room, those present My Wife and I, her doctor, two reps from Medtron, took around 20 minutes, how does that amount to that amount? This country is never going to see afordable health care, if this is the accepted norm.

Go to this website: http://www.oliversegal.com/heart-conditions/reveal-linq-device/ Go to the section - What do I do if I have symptoms? and within that paragraph, it says: "When placed over the Reveal Linq device and the button pressed, it triggers the device to store the previous 7.5-15 minutes of your heart rhythm and mark the place on the heart record when your fainting or other symptoms occurred. "

The Medtronic rep, a retired RN told me that the patient assistant would mark 20 minutes prior to the event and the event itself, although I can't not find this in my manual. Will check with maker to see if this is accurate.
