What are Abbott loop recorders?   

An loop recorder or an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) is a heart recording device. It is a small device, about the the size of a flat AAA battery. It is implanted in the body under the chest skin. It has several uses. The most common ones include looking for causes of fainting, palpitations, very fast or slow heartbeats, and hidden rhythms that can cause strokes. During a loop recorder implantation, your doctor places the small device under your skin, on your chest wall, overlying the heart. The machine works as an electrocardiogram (ECG). It constantly picks up electrical signals from your heart. This can help find abnormal heart rhythms that can cause many problems such as fainting.

They offer home monitoring as well so if an event occurs, your doctor is either notified same day or the next day.
