Study Shows Medtronic ICM Accurately Predicts Risk Thresholds for AFib Patients Using AI

DAIC

16, 2025 Primary results from the DEFINE AFib clinical study show the Medtronic LINQ family of insertable cardiac monitors (ICM), paired with a novel algorithm, were able to detect atrial fibrillation episodes and properly risk stratify patients as high risk prior to an AF-related healthcare utilization 80% of the time.

A fascinating electrophysiology case. What is this wide complex tachycardia, and how best to manage it?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

She had a single chamber ICD/Pacemaker implanted several years prior due to ventricular tachycardia. Seeing as the patient has a single chamber ICD/pacemaker, pacing the ventricle will also lead to AV dyssynchrony that will compromise ventricular filling, further impairing hemodynamics. small squares in width (260ms).
