Has anyone here had an Insertable Cardiac Monitoring System implanted? [View all]
A person I know has been advised to have a Medtronic Cardiac Monitoring System called Reveal LINQ (Implantable Loop Recorder) inserted. Some questions she has are:
Is the insertion painful?
How long does it take to heal?
How conspicuous is the device once the incision heals?
How intrusive is living with it going to be?
How difficult does it make air travel?
Does it generate false alarms?
If so, how often?
Any other observations regarding having one of these or a similar device would be appreciated.
