"Up Skill" To Insert Reveal LINQ Cardiac Moniter

This week I had the opportunity to learn a new surgical technique implantation of a miniature cardiac monitor the Reveal LINQ. Under the supervision of my colleague and the medtronic representative I successfully inserted inserted 2 devices. The first device insertion was a little nerve racking and the patient looked up at me after the procedure and asked "is this the first one you've put in"? I smiled proudly and said yes. She returned 3 hours after having the device implanted with a answer to her palpitations, rapid atrial flutter/fibrillation, lasting a few seconds but recorded on her new Reveal device.

Example of how the device can track Atrial tachycardia/Fibrillation
