     @Ghislaine @D00B @grey They don’t count for clinical use, probably. But companies love that wild stuff, they always push pts to get portacaths put in the second they get a code that means future injections

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @Ghislaine @D00B @grey That's probably an implantable loop recorder. It is placed just subcutaneous. It's used to identify and/or quantify arrhythmias that occur infrequently or unpredictably. It can also be used to see if other symptoms like syncope or even seizures are related to arrhythmias that are not obvious to the person. Recording is usually triggered by a heart rate that is either too slow, too fast, or it can be triggered manually by the person wearing it. It can be interrogated by an external reader to show an actual rhythm strip (not just heart rate) so the exact type of arrhythmia can be identified and (hopefully) a specific treatment instituted.
