Implantable Loop Recorder (ILR) Insertion & Explant
Dr. Chabok specializes in Implantable Loop Recorder (ILR) insertion and explant, a minimally invasive procedure used for long-term heart rhythm monitoring in patients with unexplained fainting, dizziness, palpitations, or suspected arrhythmias.
✅ What is an Implantable Loop Recorder (ILR)?
- A small device implanted just under the skin of the chest.
- Continuously records heart activity to detect irregular rhythms.
- Can be manually activated by the patient or automatically triggered by the device.
- Provides valuable data for diagnosing conditions like atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, and other arrhythmias.
✅ ILR Insertion Procedure:
- A quick, minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia.
- A small incision is made to place the device under the skin.
- The procedure takes about 15-30 minutes with no need for hospital admission.
✅ ILR Explant (Removal):
- Performed when monitoring is no longer needed or the device reaches its end of battery life (typically 3 years).
- A small incision is made to remove the device.
- Quick recovery with minimal discomfort.
✅ Why Choose an ILR?
- Continuous heart monitoring without the need for external devices.
- Helps diagnose hidden arrhythmias that may not be detected by short-term tests.
- Improves treatment decisions by providing long-term heart rhythm data.
Dr. Chabok provides expert ILR insertion and removal, ensuring precise diagnosis and effective management of heart rhythm disorders. ❤️
