The device is equipped with the latest artificial intelligence algorithms that use neural networks. They allow to minimize false-positive alerts, which are one of the biggest problems of today's implanted arrhythmia recorders. In addition, the device maintains high sensitivity in detecting clinically significant arrhythmias and - as the first arrhythmia recorder in the world - allows all parameters to be programmed remotely.
How the little patient feels
-The boy was discharged home one day after the implantation of the recorder, he feels great and the remote monitoring team is in constant contact with the patient's mother, says Professor Bożena Werner, Head of the Department of Pediatric Cardiology and General Pediatrics MUW.
The implanted recorder will help determine the cause of syncope and make therapeutic decisions.
What is the novelty of the device
-The device is distinguished by its ability to be remotely programmed and monitored, its small size with the possibility of implantation in as young as two-year-old children, its long battery life - about 4.5 years. The AI algorithms used in the device are a breakthrough platform that applies deep learning artificial intelligence algorithms and transmits them to the network - says Dr. Piotr Wieniawski, a pediatric cardiologist who performed the procedure and remotely monitors the patient.
The procedure was attended by: Dr. Piotr Wieniawski – general surgeon, Dr. Magdalena Karaś-Trzeciak - anesthesiologist, Monika Kaput - anesthesia nurse, Maja Begicz and Paulina Filipek - operating nurses, Paweł Drożdżak and Octawian Kopka from Medtronic company, as well as a team from the Hemodynamics and Vascular Research Laboratory.
