Aging Population Creates Wider Customer Base For Cardiac Rhythm Management Devices In Asia.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c46289) has announced the addition of "Market Analysis of Cardiac Rhythm Management Cardiac rhythm management is a field of treatment in cardiology. The purpose is managing cardiac rhythm disorders. Usually it involves artificial pacemakers and/or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy as well as antiarrhythmia drugs. (CRM (Customer Relationship Management) An integrated information system that is used to plan, schedule and control the presales and postsales activities in an organization. ) Devices in Selected Asian Countries" to their offering This Frost & Sullivan research service titled Market Analysis of Cardiac Rhythm Management (CRM) Devices in Selected Asian Countries provides drivers and restraints from 2005 to 2012 and the market size and revenue estimates between 2002 and 2012. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following markets/applications/technologies: implantable pacemakers Pacemakers Definition A pacemaker is a surgically-implanted electronic device that regulates a slow or erratic heartbeat. Purpose Pacemakers are implanted to regulate irregular contractions of the heart (arrhythmia). , implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT (1) (C RunTime) See runtime library. (2) (Cathode Ray Tube) A vacuum tube used as a display screen in a computer monitor or TV. The viewing end of the tube is coated with phosphors, which emit light when struck by electrons. ) devices, and CRM leads in regions such as China, Hong Kong Hong Kong (hŏng kŏng), Mandarin Xianggang, special administrative region of China, formerly a British crown colony (2005 est. pop. 6,899,000), land area 422 sq mi (1,092 sq km), adjacent to Guangdong prov. , South Korea, and Malaysia. Market Sectors Expert Frost & Sullivan analysts thoroughly examine the following market sectors in this research: - Healthcare - Medical devices - Cardiovascular devices - Cardiac rhythm management devices Technologies The following technologies are covered in this research: - Implantable pacemakers - Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) - Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) or biventricular pacing - CRM leads and electrodes Electrodes Tiny wires in adhesive pads that are applied to the body for ECG measurement. Mentioned in: Electrocardiography Market Overview Aging Population Creates Wider Customer Base for Cardiac Rhythm Management Devices in Asia Congestive heart failures congestive heart failure, inability of the heart to expel sufficient blood to keep pace with the metabolic demands of the body. In the healthy individual the heart can tolerate large increases of workload for a considerable length of time. (CHF CHF In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the Swiss Franc. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. ) and heart arrhythmias are increasingly becoming common ailments among Asians, especially since the ageing population segment (65 years and above) is particularly susceptible to these diseases. With more than 10 percent of Asia's population expected to fall under this age bracket by 2010, there will be considerable rise in demand for cardiac rhythm management (CRM) devices, says the analyst of this research. A significant number of patients implanted with pacemakers have associated diseases - nearly 25 percent has hypertension and 15 percent has ischaemic heart diseases Ischaemic (or ischemic) heart disease, or myocardial ischemia, is a disease characterized by reduced blood supply to the heart. It is the most common cause of death in most western countries. Ischaemia means a "reduced blood supply". , creating a greater market for CRM tools. Studies from the U. S. National Heart, Lung & Blood Institute have also indicated that obesity and unhealthy lifestyle unhealthy lifestyle Public health A dissipated personal modus operandum, which may be characterized by one or more of the following: substance abuse–eg, alcohol, drug and/or tobacco use, debauchery, sexual promiscuity and/or teenage pregnancy, poor sleep can cause higher incidence of cardiac disorders. While the greater prevalence of CHF and heart arrhythmias will create immense demand for CRM devices, participants should take into account the lower household income of patients from Asia and price their products competitively, apart from ingeniously distributing the right mix of products. Healthy Asian Economy Encourages Investments in CRM Market The emerging markets for CRM devices in Asia are expected to receive a huge boost with greater coverage by medical insurance and governments allocating higher budgets for healthcare. The governments are promoting the construction of sophisticated medical facilities, in line with a steadily growing economy. This stability encourages the development of more numbers of tertiary-level medical facilities to serve more patients. With an increasingly urban population, larger numbers of patients are expected to gain access to CRM devices, notes the analyst. A sizeable urban population base totalling nearly 2.5 billion will go a long way in supporting market growth. Apart from governments promoting the healthcare industry, private investors are also evincing interest in offering superior services. This ensures the availability of better-trained medical professionals, which in turn, will increase confidence among both patients and medical professionals. The customer base can be expanded with greater ease by improving the levels of patient education. For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c46289 |
