Abstract

We present the first known report of a pediatric implantation of the Bluetooth™-enabled Confirm RX™ insertable cardiac monitor (Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, IL, USA) in a 17-year-old patient with unexplained syncopal episodes. This case illustrates the ability to obtain immediate rhythm information from a patient using a Bluetooth™-enabled device following a minimally invasive procedure.

Keywords: Cardiac monitor; loop recorder; pediatric.
