#insertablecardiacmonitor

An insertable cardiac monitor is a small electronic device usually attached to the heart via a catheter inserted through the skin into the chest cavity. It finds applications in cardiac rhythm management. It is designed to record heart rhythms in real-time and is used for diagnostic purposes in monitoring and treating diseases such as heart arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, and heart rhythm irregularities. Some models can measure blood pressure automatically, while others require the user's manual input of readings. Furthermore, some monitors are designed to provide continuous feedback to the user by providing feedback in the form of visual images or sound reports. Some monitors also offer additional functions such as providing feedback on the patient's temperature, oxygen saturation, blood sugar levels, and other pertinent information.

There are two common types of these monitors that are available and they are called open and closed systems. The open system is generally considered more reliable than the closed system because there is less chance for error. However, it is important to note that the most accurate results can only be obtained by using both the open and closed systems. This type of cardiac monitor is often used with people who have had their heart surgery.
