Brief summary
This study is a retrospective, observational study comparing 4 different implantable loop recorders in terms of their accuracy in detecting different arrhythmia episode types. We hypothesized that there is no significant difference in accuracy between the different devices and episode types.
Interventions
Alert transmissions from a multi-centre, multi-vendor database of 4 different implantable loop recorders will be compared. The loop recorders being compared are: LINQ II with AccuRhythm AI (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota) - MDT, Confirm Rx with SharpSense Technology (Abbott, Sylmar, CA) - ABT, Biomonitor III with RhythmCheck (Biotronik, Berlin, Germany) - BIO, LUX-DxTM with Dual-Stage Algorithm (Boston Scientific) - BSX. There will be no direct participation from patients. Only baseline characteristics and details of alert transmission from PaceMate LIVE database were extracted. Consent waiver were requested and approved. Patients are aware of their data being used due to the HIPAA agreement in which PaceMate are permitted to share deidentified data sets or limited data sets with restricted protected health information (PHI) elements without permission from the covered entity or a patient. This study was an analysis of a large multi-centre, multi-vendor database of patients with ILR receiving remote monitoring (RM) using PaceMate LIVE over a 15-month period (between January 2022 and March 2023). PaceMate LIVE is a software platform that automatically consolidates all remote monitoring transmissions and alerts from various device manufacturers into one streamlined user interface.
