Mini heart monitor implanted in newborns to track dangerous rhythms
NCT ID NCT05744934
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a small device called an implantable loop recorder can be safely placed in newborns who have only one working heart chamber. Ten babies received the monitor during their first heart surgery. The goal was to see if the device could continuously track heart rate and catch any abnormal rhythms during the risky period between surgeries. The study focused on safety and whether the device could send data reliably.
