Loop recorder

Does anyone know what lead ecg a loop recorder is equivalent to?

Hi

I don’t really understand your question, sorry. But it caught my eye as I had surgery to implant a loop recorder before Christmas. I’d had a few bouts of blacking out, without any warning. All tests came back clear so I was happy to have the loop recorder.

About a month in, I received a call from the hospital asking me to go in. By lunch time I was having surgery to implant a pace maker as the recorder showed that my heart had paused for 23 seconds. I owe so much to the loop recorder.

Hi,

I've got a linq recorder. I think it is equivalent to a 2 lead ECG but I'm not medically trained. I asked at some stage and I think that was what I was told.

No good question, I'd like to know the answer
