title: Demonstration of myocardial ischemia by an internal loop recorder.
abstract: An internal loop recorder (ILR) implanted to evaluate syncope was activated during an episode of chest pain. Analysis of the recorded event revealed a marked increase in the amount of ST-segment depression over baseline. In addition to rhythm analysis, the ILR may be able to assess myocardial ischemia. Further refinements of filtering may make analysis more accurate.
