A member asked:

I recently had a loop recorder implanted. can i travel out of the country with this?

Loop recorder: An implantable loop recorder would not usually be a contraindication to travel. Your doctor is the best source of a recommendation as the full knowledge of your condition is the best basis for a recommendation.
