Insertable cardiac monitor with a long sensing vector: Impact of obesity on sensing quality and safety

BackgroundFat layers in obese patients can impair R-wave detection and diagnostic performance of a subcutaneous insertable cardiac monitor (ICM). We compared safety and ICM sensing quality between obese patients [body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2] and normal-weight controls (BMI <30 kg/m2) in...
