Description:
Arrhythmias can be difficult to detect. Insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs) can spot rhythm problems where other devices can’t. In this course, you’ll learn about the indications for an ICM implant, different types of ICMs available, and techniques used to insert and explant these devices. You’ll also cover data download methods, troubleshooting, and how to make the most out of your ICM devices.

After completing this course, you will be able to:
• Determine if an ICM insertion is indicated.
• Discriminate between the different types of ICM devices.
• Implant an ICM device.
• Interrogate the device on-site using a programmer.
• Interrogate the device remotely.
• Troubleshoot problems.
• Explant an ICM device.
