Benefits and limitations of implantable loop recorders in the very elderly
ILR are effective and safe in elderly patients. AF was often found in patients with suspected AF, especially in patients after catheter ablation of only documented atrial flutter (AFlu). PPI-rate was high in patients with recurrent syncope and ILR-implantation. Further investigations are necessary to determine whether PPI may be considered in elderly patients with syncope even in the absence of a bifascicular block.
