The implantable loop recorder is evaluated in this comprehensive literature review for its use in patients with inherited arrhythmia syndromes and relatives of sudden arrhythmic death syndrome victims.
What is the evidence for using implantable loop recorders in patients with inherited arrhythmia syndromes and relatives of sudden arrhythmic death syndrome victims?
This review summarizes the evidence for using implantable loop recorders to rule out malignant arrhythmias in low-risk patients with inherited arrhythmia syndromes.
Risk stratification of patients with inherited arrhythmia syndromes (IASs) can be challenging. Recent guidelines acknowledge a place for considering the implantable loop recorder (ILR) to outrule malignant arrhythmia as a cause of syncope in certain inherited arrhythmia patients who are at low risk of sudden cardiac death. In this comprehensive literature review, we evaluate the available evidence for the use of the ILR in the IASs and in relatives of victims of sudden arrhythmic death syndrome.
Balfe et al. (Thu,) conducted a review in Inherited arrhythmia syndromes. Implantable loop recorder (ILR) was evaluated. The implantable loop recorder is evaluated in this comprehensive literature review for its use in patients with inherited arrhythmia syndromes and relatives of sudden arrhythmic death syndrome victims.
