植入型心电事件记录仪在晕厥诊断中的作用

The diagnostic values of insertable cardiac monitors in syncope

植入型心电事件记录仪(ICM)是一种埋植于皮下持续监测患者心电信息的可程控设备,较动态心电图等传统心电监测设备具有体积小、依从性高、监测时间长、检出率高等优势,可以明确症状与心电图改变的相关性。目前ICM最常用于不明原因晕厥的病因诊断,其有效性和安全性已经被大量临床研究所证实。

Insertable cardiac monitor(ICM)is a programmable device implanted subcutaneously to continuously monitor and record electrocardiograph information.Compared with traditional electrocardiograph monitoring devices such as Holter,ICM has many advantages such as smaller size,higher compliance,longer monitoring time and higher detection rate.It can clarify the correlation between symptom and electrocardiograph.At present,ICM is most commonly used for the etiological diagnosis of unexplained syncope,and its efficacy and safety have been proved by a large number of clinical studies.
