CARDIAC
MONITORING


INSERTABLE DEVICES TO DETECT
SLOW OR IRREGULAR
HEARTBEATS






DO YOU HAVE AN
IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT?

Cardiac monitoring can help your doctor determine if you have an irregular
heartbeat and what type. Unlike other methods of monitoring, an insertable
cardiac monitor (ICM) can track your heartbeat long-term, if necessary.

Use our list of questions to help guide a conversation with your doctor.

Questions for your doctor




WHAT IS AN IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT?

A heart’s rhythm (heartbeat) is normally between 60 to 100 beats per minute. If
your heart beats slower or faster than 60 to 100 beats per minute—or has gaps in
the rhythm—you may have an irregular heartbeat called an arrhythmia (pronounced
uh-RITH-me-uh).


THERE ARE FOUR COMMON ARRHYTHMIAS:

Bradycardia
A slow heartbeat of fewer than 60 beats per minute.

Tachycardia
A fast heartbeat of more than 100 beats per minute.

Pause
A gap in your regular heartbeat, when your heart does not beat for a few
seconds.

Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)
A heartbeat that beats chaotically and/or irregularly.






WHAT IS THE MOST COMMON IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT?

Atrial Fibrillation, or AFib for short, is the most common type of irregular
heartbeat. Unlike other types of arrhythmias, you may not always notice symptoms
of AFib. This makes an accurate diagnosis even more valuable. Your doctor may
suggest cardiac monitoring to help take steps toward a diagnosis.

THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS TO MONITOR YOUR HEART

Because an irregular heartbeat can come and go, diagnosis can be tricky. While
other methods of heart monitoring only record your heartbeat for up to a month,
an ICM—like the small and slim Abbott Assert-IQ™ ICM—can monitor continuously
for up to 6 years.




INSERTABLE CARDIAC MONITOR

An ICM—also referred to as a loop recorder—goes under the skin near your heart.
The procedure is minimally invasive. The ICM will do all the work for you, and
many patients do not even know it is there.





HOLTER MONITOR

Small patches (electrodes) are placed on your chest and attached to a recording
monitor that you carry around. This monitor can record your heartbeat for up to
two days.




EVENT RECORDER

This external monitor is attached to your skin and can be worn for up to for 30
days.





WEARABLES

Fitness wearables and smartwatches may be able to display a short history of
your heart rhythm.

Using a wearable may help determine if you should speak to your doctor about
more detailed and consistent monitoring with a device such as an ICM.

WHY ASSERT-IQ ICM

ICMs monitor your heart continuously without interrupting your lifestyle.




Assert-IQ ICM is a slim insertable monitor, available in a device with a longer
battery life option than any other ICM. The battery longevity means that
patients can use the device longer before needing it to be replaced. With
Bluetooth®-enabled technology and the easy-to-use myMerlin Mobile App, your
heartbeat can be continuously monitored by your doctor for faster decision
making.*


Discover Assert-IQ ICM





FREEDOM TO BE ANYWHERE, ANYTIME

After your ICM is placed and paired with the myMerlin Mobile App, the app
securely sends your heart rhythm data automatically to your clinic. Abbott was
the first to introduce a device that utilized Bluetooth® technology for the
rapid transmission of results to your doctor without having to travel to the
clinic.

The myMerlin Mobile App lets your doctor see when your heart starts beating
differently. You can also capture your own symptoms with the app when something
does not seem right.
