Poland's first implantation of a new generation arrhythmia recorder with AI algorithm

The specialists from the 1st Chair and Department of Cardiology MUW performed the implantation of an innovative arrhythmia recorder using artificial intelligence algorithms. The patient was a 57-year-old patient with recurrent loss of consciousness. Previous diagnostics had failed to identify the cause of these symptoms, the innovative device is expected to help with this.

The procedure was performed by a team consisting of Łukasz Januszkiewicz, MD, PhD, and Marcin Michalak, MD, along with assisting staff: Dorota Swiątek, MA, Oleksandra Solohub, MA, Katarzyna Zawiła, MA, and Zuzanna Sawicka, MA.

The Reveal Linq II device is equipped with the latest AccuRhythm artificial intelligence algorithms, which use neural networks. These allow for minimized 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 - allows all parameters to be programmed remotely.

- The patient feels perfectly fine and is already at home, we are in constant contact with him - says Prof. Marcin Grabowski, Head of the 1st Chair and Department of Cardiology MUW - The implemented recorder will allow us to detect the cause of syncope and treat it, and thus free the patient from problematic symptoms.
