Implantable loop recorders effectively detect arrhythmias within the first two years, with higher yields for recurrent presyncope but diminishing returns for monitoring beyond 900 days.
What is the diagnostic yield of implantable loop recorders stratified by indication in a real-world setting?
ILR monitoring is most effective within the first two years, especially for patients with recurrent presyncope or atrial dilation, with diminishing diagnostic returns after 900 days.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
ILRs are effective for arrhythmia detection, demonstrating significant diagnostic and therapeutic impact, particularly within the first two years. The recurrence of presyncope and atrial dilation was associated with higher yields, while isolated syncope posed diagnostic challenges. Prolonged monitoring beyond 900 days and device re-implantation provided diminishing returns.
