Dear Robert, Thank you for your question. Your doctors are probably looking for atrial fibrillation on the loop recorder as one of the determining factors. Other factors would be if the aortic valve is causing your chest pressure or if something else is. They may want to check a heart cath or stress test in the future. I hope you find this information useful.
