Description
S Fareh and colleagues evaluate, in a 2026 single-centre study, a newer implanted heart monitor designed to cut false alarms. False positives swamp device clinics with transmissions needing review. The LUX-Dx monitor uses two-stage detection logic and can be reprogrammed remotely when it misfires.
The review covered 133 consecutive patients implanted between July 2023 and October 2024, generating over fifty-five thousand recorded episodes. About eighty-seven percent of patient-level alerts were genuine, with perfect accuracy for slow rhythms and the weakest showing for pauses. Remote reprogramming, used in a third of patients, lifted episode accuracy from seventy-seven to eighty-seven percent. Reviewing only selected episodes per transmission kept accuracy similar while saving effort.
