Abstract
The scope of application for implantable loop recorders has shifted away from the evaluation of unclear palpitations and syncope episodes to more complex conditions. This article focuses on rare indications of growing importance such as rhythm monitoring after ablation of atrial fibrillation or after cryptogenic stroke. Furthermore, forthcoming applications in various clinical settings are described, e. g., arrhythmia detection after myocardial infarction, after catheter-based valve interventions, in heart failure, and in cardiomyopathies. Enhancement of the capabilities of implantable loop recorders could broaden their fields of use.Keywords
