Frequently asked questions
Here are some answers to questions that new patients frequently ask.
Contact your doctor or Medtronic if you have additional questions.
How long will I have my cardiac monitor inserted?
Your doctor will decide how long you need the cardiac monitor. The
battery is designed to last approximately 3 years.
What if my symptoms are not related to my heart rhythm?
Then your doctor looks for other causes. For example, syncope
(commonly called fainting) is sometimes hard to diagnose because
fainting may be related to fatigue, stress, hormonal imbalance,
neurological abnormalities, or other causes. If you do not have heart
rhythm problems, your doctor can focus on other potential causes or
refer you to another doctor.
Why do I need a device identification card?
Your Medtronic device identification (ID) card has information about
you, your doctor, and your cardiac monitor in case you have a medical
emergency or have a medical question. An ID card is attached to your
Patient Assistant Quick Reference Card. Carry it with you at all times.
