An implantable loop recorder is an ECG recorder used for long term ECG monitoring, for as long as three years. Such long term monitoring is necessary for symptoms such as syncope, when other tests have failed to provide an explanation. |

It is a small device, implanted on the chest wall, underneath the skin, with the ability to record the ECG continuously, detect an arrhythmic event and store it. When interrogated the information can be retrieved and the diagnosis can be made. |
