Why choose long-term heart monitoring?

Some information about your heart can only be found by watching it over time. An insertable monitor, also known as an "insertable cardiac monitor (ICM)" or "loop recorder," can watch your heart for irregular heartbeats 24/7 for up to 3–4.5 years* — all without changing your daily activities.

Smart, automatic remote monitoring

Heart monitors have been placed in more than 1.5 million patients.3 They automatically detect and record unusual heartbeats using smart technology. 

A quick and safe procedure

Insertion of a heart monitor typically takes less than five minutes. It does not require general anesthesia. The monitor is placed just under the skin during an outpatient procedure and is not visible in most patients. After the procedure, you can get back to your day.
