What is a cardio loop recorder why is it necessary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fickle heart: Your heart can be normal for most of the day/night and then suddenly do something bad. A “loop recorder” is there to catch those very seconds/ minutes and record a copy of the electrical abnormality. And anyway, it’s sorta like chicken soup... it couldn’t hurt.
