Insertable heart monitors
Some information about your heart can only be found by watching it over time. An insertable monitor, also known as an "insertable cardiac monitor (ICM)" or "loop recorder," can watch your heart for irregular heartbeats 24/7 for up to 3–4.5 years* — all without changing your daily activities.
Download questions to ask your doctor about whether long-term monitoring may be right for you.
Insertable heart monitors provide important information to your doctor that other short-term monitors and wearables might miss.

Medtronic heart monitors have been placed in more than 1.5 million patients.3 They automatically detect and record unusual heartbeats using smart technology. Learn more about the Medtronic LINQ™ family of insertable cardiac monitors (Reveal LINQ ICM and LINQ II ICM).
Insertion of a Medtronic heart monitor typically takes less than five minutes. It does not require general anesthesia. The monitor is placed just under the skin during an outpatient procedure and is not visible in most patients. After the procedure, you can get back to your day.
