If the Holter showed high(150s) and low rates(40s), I am not sure what else would be accomplished by a loop recorder. If there is bradycardia tachycardia syndrome and these are associated with symptoms you need decisions by an electrophysiologist. Are the bradycardia episodes caused drug therapy? Are there significant tachycardias without medication? Considerations should include a pacemaker.
