Previous versions: October 28, 2021: Ahead of Print Implantable loop recorders (ILRs) are widely recognized as an important diagnostic tool in patients with suspected arrhythmia, providing an opportunity for long-term cardiac rhythm monitoring. The emergence of remote monitoring (RM) for cardiac implantable electronic device follow-up1 has facilitated timely recognition of ILR-detected arrhythmias; however, the volume of alert transmissions is burdensome for clinics and clinicians, with ILRs transmitting disproportionately high-alert quantities in comparison to other cardiac implantable electronic devices.2 By their subcutaneous nature, ILRs are prone to a variety of erroneous activations.3,4 Additionally, ILR alert burden is supplemented by patient-activated alerts, which often do not correspond with significant arrhythmia.5 Although small single-center reports have described false-positive ILR alerts, there is no multicenter experience regarding the RM burden of ILRs and frequency of false-positive alerts. We aimed to characterize ILR alert burden in a large multicenter cohort with the Reveal LINQ device.This was a multicenter cohort study of RM alerts transmitted by the Reveal LINQ device (Medtronic, Inc, Minnesota, MN). RM was undertaken using PaceMate LIVE—a vendor-neutral software system with automatic integration of all RM transmissions, streamlined into a single-user interface, with all alerts managed by the PaceMate RM service. The study was reviewed and approved by the institutional Human Research Ethics Committees. The data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.Baseline device episode parameters were programmed at the time of implant as per nominal manufacturer settings, unless programmed otherwise per physician discretion. Alerts arrived in the RM database precategorized as asystole, bradycardia, atrial tachycardia (AT)/atrial fibrillation (AF), tachycardia, or patient activated according to device programming and detection. Alerts were analyzed by the International Board of Heart Rhythm Examiners–certified cardiac device specialists via the PaceMate service, with immediate analysis available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Alerts were adjudicated as either true-positive (rhythm strip consistent with true arrhythmia and all patient-activated alerts) or false-positive (all nonpatient-activated alerts without evidence of associated arrhythmia, further classified according to reason for incorrect arrhythmia detection).In total, 1470 patients monitored during a 6-month period (August 2019 to February 2020; Figure), from 21 American and 2 Australian centers, were included in the analysis. Mean age was 70±13 years. A total of 14 086 alerts were transmitted, with median 3 (interquartile range, 1–10) alerts per patient (6 alerts/patient-year). AT/AF alerts were the most common (n=7016; 49.8%), followed by asystole (n=2986; 21.2%), tachycardia (n=2696; 19.1%), patient-activated episodes (n=697; 4.9%), and bradycardia (n=691; 4.9%). Overall, there were 5660 (40.2%) true-positive alerts and 8426 (59.8%) false-positive alerts transmitted.Download figureDownload PowerPointFigure. The number of implantable loop recorders contributing to the remote monitoring alert burden during the 6-mo monitoring period and proportions of true-positive and false-positive alerts in each alert category. AF indicates atrial fibrillation; AT, atrial tachycardia; ILR, implantable loop recorder; and PPV, positive predictive value.Episodes were false-positive in 2292 (76.8%) asystole alerts, 5209 (74.2%) AT/AF alerts, 192 (27.8%) bradycardia alerts, and 733 (27.2%) tachycardia alerts. False-positive AT/AF alerts were due to frequent ectopy (n=4697; 90.2%), noise/artifact (n=490; 9.4%), oversensing (n=10; 0.2%), and undetermined cause (n=12; 0.2%). False-positive tachycardia alerts were due to oversensing (n=713; 97.3%), noise/artifact (n=15; 2.0%), frequent ectopy (n=3; 0.4%), and undetermined cause (n=2; 0.3%). All false-positive asystole and bradycardia alerts were due to undersensing. The 697 patient-activated alerts coincided with normal sinus rhythm (n=302; 43.3%), sinus rhythm with frequent ectopy (n=180; 25.8%), supraventricular tachycardia (n=152; 21.8%), and AF (n=63; 9.0%).Asystole alerts were more likely to be false-positive than AT/AF (P=0.047), tachycardia (P<0.001), and bradycardia (P<0.001) alerts. False-positive alerts in the AT/AF category were more likely than in tachycardia and bradycardia (both P<0.001). There were 387 (26.3%) patients who sent only false-positive alerts, median of 2 (interquartile range, 1–7) false-positive alerts per device. At least 1 false-positive alert was transmitted by 818 patients (55.6%), who had an average 75.8% false-positive alert rate.Limitations of this study include the unavailability of ILR indication. Further, ILR settings were not standardized, with programming as per physician discretion, to reflect real-world ILR management.ILRs have become essential for management of arrhythmia and evaluation of syncope. In this multicenter cohort, 59.8% of all alerts were erroneous, with particularly high false-positive rates for AT/AF (74.2%) and asystole (76.8%) alerts. Rather than a small group of devices being responsible for majority of inaccurate alerts, 55.6% contributed to the false-positive alert burden. The findings of this study highlight the need for strategies to reduce and manage the burden of false-positive ILR alerts. ILR implant positioning, device programming, diligent alert adjudication, and RM response pathways all provide opportunity to do so. ILR positioning at the time of implant is critical, with individual patient body habitus requiring consideration when selecting the optimal position. R-wave amplitude assessment at the time of implant could potentially decrease the likelihood of undersensing events. Device reprogramming for longer detection times before AF alert generation may reduce false positives in this category. Further, ILR alerts require careful assessment given that more than half may not reflect a true arrhythmia; assessment by qualified cardiac device specialists can lessen the proportion of alerts that are unnecessarily escalated to the treating clinician. Finally, management systems can be redesigned with inclusion of features such as third-party alert adjudication and artificial intelligence, to lessen ILR alert burden on current RM response pathways.Article InformationSources of FundingC.J.
