The diagnostic yield of implantable loop recorders stratified by indication: “real-world” use in a large academic hospital

ConclusionsIn a “real-world” academic hospital setting, the diagnostic rate of ILRs was highest for AF, palpitations, and VA; however, these high yield indications comprised only 29% of all indications. The diagnostic yield for the commonest indication (syncope) was approximately half that reported in the previ ously published trials. With increasing implantation rates, additional studies are required to refine guideline-based indications for ILR implantation to improve diagnostic yield.
