When long-term continuous monitoring detects bradyarrhythmia in an asymptomatic patient, is it still providing value? 

Unlike other ICDs, the lead for this new-look device is placed under the patient's breastbone, outside of their heart and veins. 

Peter Libby, MD, a cardiovascular medicine specialist with Brigham and Women’s Hospital, discussed the cases of AFib being seen in long-COVID patients.

Both devices were approved for treating significant heart rhythm issues. 

The soft, stretchable material creates so little pressure that users will likely not even even be able to feel it. 

“Before we examined the data, I thought we would find an ample amount of the symptoms to be specifically associated with long COVID, but that wasn’t the case," one researcher said. 

Post-operative atrial fibrillation was once viewed as a fairly insignificant issue, but more recent research suggests it can increase a patient’s risk of multiple adverse events.
