A study published in a recent issue of the journal Circulation shows that patients who experience recurrent unexplained syncope (fainting) have a greater chance of being diagnosed if physicians use a Reveal Insertable Loop Recorder (ILR). Devices such as the Medtronic Reveal[R] Plus insertable loop recorder (ILR) and Reveal[R] DX, the company's newest insertable cardiac monitor (ICM), can monitor asymptomatic arrhythmias and can be appropriate patient management tools for assessing post-MI patients who may benefit from drug or device (pacemaker or ICD) therapy. The new Reveal devices expand on the cardiac monitoring foundation Medtronic began more than 10 years ago with the Reveal[R] and Reveal Plus[R] Insertable Loop Recorders. |
