REVEAL for Respiration Detection

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Unexplained Syncope; Suspected Arrhythmia

• Registration Number: NCT01956578
• Lead Sponsor: Medtronic BRC

Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the correlation between the respiratory rate derived from the Reveal Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) electrocardiogram (ECG) with the respiratory rate obtained from an external respiratory band in patients previously implanted with a Reveal for unexplained syncope or suspected arrhythmia.
