im4god2010 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Has anyone ever had a Loop recorder put in and if so what all is involved? Has there been any problems after having it put in? My doctor is thinking about maybe doing one and I would like to hear if anyone else has had one or has one now.

Gracefulprincess Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 I had one put in back in 2008 and left it in till 2011. It's a minor surgery and done under local anesthesia ( they don't put you to sleep). The thing to remember is that it just records your heart rate and doesn't treat anything. It's helpful if you're having heart rate issues and will give your doctor a better picture of what is going on hopefully. Once it's in, you usually go in for them to download the info that it collected once a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
