External Loop Recorders
External Loop Recorders 7 to 14 days
7 to 14 days External loop recorder is an easy tool for diagnosing Heart rhythm, Palpitations, Dizziness, SOB, Ghabrahat, Syncope, Blackout, Vertigo, Chest Pain/ Heaviness’ in case when Holter monitoring is not conclusive in 48 hours. The group of people in whom external loop recorders should be especially applicable are, due to the physiological changes in conduction system in the course of the aging process.
Role of extended external loop recorders for the diagnosis of unexplained syncope, pre-syncope, and non-sustained/sustained arrhythmia.
The diagnostic yield of ELR in patients with unknown origin after routine workup was similar to implantable loop recorder (ILR) within the same timeframe, therefore, ELR could be considered for patients’ candidate for long-term ECG monitoring, stepwise before ILR.
