Video Summary

Ermin Tala discusses the use of implantable loop recorders (ILR) for patients with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD), who experience cardiac symptoms such as palpitations and syncope. The study evaluated ILR's effectiveness in diagnosing arrhythmias not linked to Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Involving 116 patients, 31 received ILRs, revealing sinus tachycardia as the most common arrhythmia. ILR findings aided POTS diagnosis, guided treatment, and led to further interventions like PVC ablation, ICD implantation, and pacemaker recommendations. Limitations include its retrospective nature and small sample size. Further research is needed.
