Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Implantation of an implantable cardiac event recorder in the patients chest just under the skin. The implantation procedure takes less than one minute. The device remains implanted until sufficient information has been gathered for the doctor to diagnose the cardiac arrhythmia or until the battery runs out after about four years. The device automatically records a number of subcutaneous ECG episodes based on a number of cardiac rhythm related triggers (AF, VT, bradycardia etc). The patient can also prompt a recording by the device using a patient activator device which is supplied.
