Subcutaneous Cardiac Rhythm Monitor

A subcutaneous cardiac rhythm monitor is a type of medical device used to monitor a patient’s heart rhythm. Unlike traditional external heart monitors, this device is implanted under the patient’s skin and does not require leads or wires to be attached to the patient’s chest. The device uses electrodes to detect and record electrical signals from the heart, which can then be transmitted wirelessly to a remote monitoring system. This allows healthcare providers to monitor a patient’s heart rhythm over a prolonged period of time, even when the patient is at home or engaging in normal activities. The goal of the subcutaneous cardiac rhythm monitor is to provide continuous, real-time monitoring of heart rhythm and detect any abnormal rhythms that may require medical intervention.
