MODEL RELEASED. Keloid scarring following cardiac implant. Keloid scarring at the insertion site for an implant used to treat postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) in a 15-year-old girl. POTS is a condition in which a change from lying to standing causes an abnormally large increase in heart rate. The device used here is a 'Reveal' device, an internal cardiac monitor used to track the patient's heart rate. A keloid scar consists of a mass of collagen fibres, forming as a result of a defective healing process. | |
