Sandeep A Saha, MD, MS, FHRS, Oregon Heart Center PC is joined by Saket Sanghai, MD, FHRS, Oregon Health & Science University, and Naga Venkata Krishna Chand Pothineni, MD, Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute, to discuss how the study evaluated the effectiveness of implantable loop recorders (ILRs) in detecting arrhythmias in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Traditional monitoring methods, like Holter monitors, often miss intermittent arrhythmic events in HCM patients. ILRs, offering continuous long-term monitoring, were found to identify clinically significant arrhythmias that might otherwise go undetected. The findings suggest that ILRs can play a crucial role in risk stratification and management of HCM patients, potentially guiding decisions regarding interventions such as implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation. Overall, ILRs enhance the detection of arrhythmias in HCM, leading to improved patient care.
