Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how factors like vector length, implant angle, and patient characteristics influence the accuracy of electrogram sensing in insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs).
- It involved analyzing 1800 ECG tracings from 150 participants using different distances, angles, and postures, finding that longer vector lengths (75 mm) and oblique angles improved P- and R-wave amplitudes significantly.
- The findings suggest that optimizing vector length and implant angle can enhance electrogram visibility, which is crucial for reducing false alerts in cardiac monitoring.
Background: Little data exists on electrogram sensing in current generation of miniaturized insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs).
Objective: To compare the sensing capability of ICM with different vector length: Medtronic Reveal LINQ (~40 mm) vs. Biotronik Biomonitor III (BM-III, ~70 mm).
Purpose: A recent meta-analysis of five case-control studies and one cohort study reported that exposure to glyphosate was associated with increased risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). The meta-analysis was based on estimates of risk from the included studies at the highest reported exposure level obtained from analyses with the longest lag period. The extent to which the summary estimate depends upon the exposure definitions and assumed latency period is uncertain.
