Had one implanted by Dr. J last year. Was no big deal. He is the BEST! Has helped monitor my Afib greatly. Information is the key to staying healthy and out of the hospital!
I had mine fitted on 14th of September 2021 it took 5 minutes I felt nothing but I have a scar that looks like a huge raised zit and I have a lot of pain where it's sat and in the centre of my chest they have found my diagnosis since having it ANRVT Bsaically superventicular tachycardia I think they are removing the device and I am now waiting for catheter ablation which is also a good thing to have done with afib gets rid of it forever good luck 👍
Im happy to see how this works. I have arrythmias and keep fainting but can't catch the arrythmia. So I was told after an MRI scan of my heart that they are going to implant a loop recorder. Was a bit scared but now I see what happens i feel happy to go ahead. Thank you for this.
Depending on what is needed they actually serve two different purposes. The holter monitor records all heart activity for those 24 to 48 hours vs the loop recorder which records abnormal heart beats for up to 3 years.
Does this pick up Brugada after multiple syncopal episodes that then resulted in fainting, followed by bradycardia and then drop in pressures from hypertensive to 60s over 40s and finally oxygen saturation dropping from 98 to 76 percent?
Had one put in. Within 3 hours started running high fevers. Ended up with major infection that spread clear through my left breast. Dr's refused to take it out until 7 days later. By then I was very sick and full of infection and abcesses. It was very painful. Surgery to take it out and clean out the mess took over 2 hours. Never again will I do this. I have syncope/pots.
I have this one on me, in fact I had major accident and after that I had palpitations but nothing came on this device, That’s really annoying I have this because of stroke
Dr im having one of these fitted tomorrow morning, I am in the UK I suffer with Tachycardia supervtricular and ventricular ectopics, apparently begnin... this has been going on for years one day a few years ago my heart started to race so fast my partner at the time said I was having a panic attack and wouldn't call an ambulance since then I have had several holter monitors but I am still suffering with paused beats and racing heart, I am scared I don't want to die.
It's highly unlikely you will die from this. I have the same thing. Have extra electrical circuit that should not be there and since birth but it never caused me any trouble tho it does feel strange. But a few years ago it started causing me to black out. So I am getting the loop recorder so they can see whether they can ablate it or not. I have been on medication but it doesn't seem to work so well any more. Don't worry about it as its unlikely to be fatal. But do keep pushing for it to be sorted out if it's bothering you.
What is it recording? e.g. Heart rate? EKG? Recording full time? Or only when it detects something abnormal? Why is it called "loop'? Does that mean it has limited internal memory and writes over old data on a first in first out basis? How many hours or minutes of recording can it store?
I have that same device on me cause I had a stroke two years ago, but mine died already and I haven’t had it removed. It only lasted a a bit. It didn’t get to the date that I got an implant.
I need to have one this in two days. Can someone please tell me after months the result of this monitor? Did the monitor moves in your body and/or stop working?
I'm getting one inserted today, but my mother-in-law has one and she has had multiple MRI's done and it hasn't affected her just make sure to let your doctors know before getting an MRI.
This monitor made whole family sick my dog broke out in hives. My tinnitus got worse made me sick all over, my husband feel worse all kinds of sideffects he tinnitus loud and many other horrible symptoms. Radiation wifi frequency maybe who knows what is is powerful.

Thank you for your insightful video. I am an RN, but a new patient with a loop recorder.
Thank you. Excellent information

I have similar issue.. its like a rat race trying to detect the cause of palpitation.. did it leave a scar?
Great stuff, I’d take this over wearing a holter monitor for 24-48 hours any day!!!
Depending on what is needed they actually serve two different purposes. The holter monitor records all heart activity for those 24 to 48 hours vs the loop recorder which records abnormal heart beats for up to 3 years.
I didn't know the difference so yet again more useful information thank you
Totally agree at its 24/7 and will pick up abnormal activity I didnt even feel it go in and it took 2 mins almost two years now its been a good send 👍
Just had mine put in today .. quite painful but it's for the best
Thank you so much for this bio.I’m going have one after new year 2023 .
Another great explanatory video. Thank you Dr .Jamnadas for sharing about the Loop Recorder. Is the procedure fairly safe for most people?
Thank you so much your explanation was very easy to understand. I'm having one put in on 25th July and 8ve been a bit apprehensive

Sir, can u make a video on food habits and cancer.
I have this one on me, in fact I had major accident and after that I had palpitations but nothing came on this device,
That’s really annoying

@@victorsofcircumstancesonso1606 Well this is a pleasure 🤟

What rate did it go up to? I suffer too

Great information I had one inserteed last Monday
Short & concise
No need to wear a 24 to 48 hour holter monitor or 30 day event recorder with an implant loop recorder
yes. No need to do Holter monitor’s or event monitors when you have a loop recorder which will record every heartbeat for up to three years.
I'm having one fitted in two weeks from today, 16th September 2024, I'm a little worried because I'm terrified of anything surgical
Thank you ❤
I need to have one this in two days. Can someone please tell me after months the result of this monitor? Did the monitor moves in your body and/or stop working?
What if you travel a lot. Do you have to take that other thing with you? Or can you skip downloading for a few days, a week, if traveling?
He actually stated it has a short memory, that to me equated to having to download frequently and clearing the memory for the next day.
Thank you!
Would I have access to my own data?
Excellent
Is Medtronic LNQ11 loop recorder compatible with MRI?
I'm getting one inserted today, but my mother-in-law has one and she has had multiple MRI's done and it hasn't affected her just make sure to let your doctors know before getting an MRI.
I have 18 month en I am very happy.And I am not so young.
This monitor made whole family sick my dog broke out in hives. My tinnitus got worse made me sick all over, my husband feel worse all kinds of sideffects he tinnitus loud and many other horrible symptoms. Radiation wifi frequency maybe who knows what is is powerful.
I had a loop recorder implanted today. TheTH-cam described the procedure. My doctor didn't.
Can fasting improve or reverse afib?
Doubtful. A person with AFib may have a reduced appetite though. Until my dad underwent cardioversion he barely wanted to eat.
I have one
Having mine taking out in 4 days.
Hope you see this question. How long did you have it in and how did you go about getting it taken out?
@@missylearned9821 Mine lasted about 3 years.
I took mine out last night cause it kept playing the Grateful Dead Songs..
Can I have this If I have boob implants ?
AF plus Canadian classification
I'm saving my money to come see you. Ì have afib
