A member asked:
In canada when would an implantable loop (heart monitor) recorder be ordered? can i request one if the holtor monitor isn't catching my symptoms
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tests: Besides the implantable loop, there are external 2 to4 week recorders and external event recorders all of which give longer term monitoring as alternatives to the implantable loop devices.
