Artefact mimicking tachycardia during magnetic resonance imaging in a patient with an implantable loop recorder.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An implantable loop recorder (ILR) was implanted in a 45 year old man with recurrent syncope. A subsequent episode of injurious syncope led to performance of a cranial and shoulder magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An artefact mimicking both wide and narrow complex tachycardias was recorded by the ILR during the shoulder MRI but not the cranial MRI. Caution should be used when interpreting the ECGs of ILRs in patients who have undergone MRI.

Electromagnetic interference in an implantable loop recorder caused by a portable digital media player.
The implantable loop recorder has been shown to be a cost-effective tool for diagnosis of intermittent cardiovascular symptoms such as syncope and palpitations. Electromagnetic interference in these recorders may be caused by commonly encountered electronic devices such as antitheft electronic surveillance systems and magnetic resonance imaging cameras. In this report, we describe interference ...
متن کاملEffectiveness and safety of remote monitoring of patients with an implantable loop recorder.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Implantable loop recorders have proven efficacy in the study of patients with syncope and palpitations. Remote monitoring of patients with pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators has been shown to be safe and effective. The purpose of this study was to analyze the safety and effectiveness of remote monitoring in patients with an implantable loop record...
متن کاملAppropriate management of syncope in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: rationale behind long-term cardiac rhythm monitoring.
We describe the case of a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who had recurrent syncopal episodes, the cause of which remained unexplained despite a thorough evaluation. Two years after his first evaluation, an implantable loop recorder revealed asymptomatic episodes of advanced second degree atrioventricular block while the patient was awake. Although a permanent pacemaker was implanted, ...

Introduction: Symptoms like syncope or palpitations frequently present a diagnostic challenge. An implantable loop recorder (ILR) is an important aid in the management of these patients. Methods: A retrospective study of patients that underwent ILR implantation from November 2007 to 2014. For each patient the indication for implantation, baseline characteristics, previous study, complications, ...
متن کاملUtility of implantable loop recorder (Reveal Plus) in the diagnosis of unexplained syncope.
AIMS In about 30% of patients with syncope, the responsible mechanisms remain unrecognised. Nevertheless, the possibility of an arrhythmic aetiology remains, however, difficult to rule out. METHODS We therefore monitored with an implantable loop recorder (ILR, Reveal Plus, Medtronic) 34 subjects (60+/-15 years) with at least two unexplained syncopal episodes and negative neurological and card...
