Implantable Cardioverter-defibrillators Market Value Predicted to Hit Big Revenues in Future | Imricor Medical Systems, Inc., LivaNova PLC Company, Mayo Clinic US & Medtronic plc
In patients
with heart failure, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is a device
that monitors a person's heart rate once it is implanted. The device constantly
monitors your heartbeat and, if necessary, sends electrical pulses to restore a
normal heart rhythm. Arrhythmias can be treated using an implantable
cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or an automated implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (AICD). The device is used to treat cardiac arrhythmias such as
ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia, which can cause
abrupt cardiac arrest. Michel Mirowski began developing the implantable
cardioverter-defibrillator in the late 1960s, following the death of a close
friend and mentor who had been taken to the hospital with recurrent ventricular
tachycardia.
The most
important factors driving the global implantable cardioverter-defibrillators market are rising incidences of cardiovascular disorders, rising demand for
implantable cardioverter defibrillators from emerging Asia-Pacific and
Middle-East countries as cardiovascular disorders rise and awareness of the
disease rises in these countries, and rising number of implantable cardioverter
defibrillators. Mayo Clinic US conducts these training and awareness programs
for patients as well as surgeons.
The
implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) determines the best course of
action for restoring your heartbeat to a normal rhythm. The anti-tachycardia
pacing (ATP) and cardio functions of implantable cardioverter defibrillators
are programmed by the doctor. A
series of tiny electrical impulses are supplied to the heart muscle to reestablish a normal heart rate and rhythm.
Defibrillation is when a high-energy shock is delivered to the heart muscle to
reestablish a normal rhythm when the heart is beating dangerously rapidly.
Small electrical impulses are transmitted to stimulate the heart muscle to
maintain an appropriate heart rate when the heart beats too slowly, which is
known as bradycardia pacing.
For someone
to be eligible for an implanted cardioverter defibrillator, the American Heart
Association recommends following several guidelines. The arrhythmia in concern
must be life-threatening, and doctors have ruled out correctable causes of
arrhythmia (acute myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia, electrolyte
imbalance, and medication poisoning). Trans-venous implantable cardioverter
defibrillators and subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators are the
two types of ICDs. The subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD) is implanted without the leads
being inserted into the heart. The device is inserted into the skin below the
left axilla, or armpit, along the rib cage, rather than at the collarbone as is
customary.
Boston
Scientific Corporation, Imricor Medical Systems, Inc., LivaNova PLC Company,
Mayo Clinic US, Medtronic plc, MicroPort Scientific Corporation, MRI
Interventions, Inc., St. Jude Medical, Inc., and others are among the major
implantable cardioverter defibrillator manufacturers.
