The presence of an arrhythmia is confirmed when the heart beats at an irregular rate. Persistent arrhythmia necessitates clinical evaluation and may require some form of intervention to prevent the irregularity from becoming life-threatening. When left untreated, serious forms of arrhythmia can lead to serious complications, such as stroke and heart failure. Recurring arrhythmia can be managed with a number of therapeutic options, including pharmaceuticals, implantable devices (e.g. pacemakers), and ablative procedures.

Stroke is the second largest cause of death globally, claiming an estimated 5.5 million lives annually. The burden of stroke is expected to worsen in the future as a result of demographic and lifestyle changes in developed and developing countries. During the acute stage there are several pharmaceuticals and surgical procedures available to assist healthcare providers manage stroke patients. This market research report provides forecasts and analysis of the embolization products used in the management and treatment of stroke. In addition to market forecasts, this report provides insights into the leading competitors in the cerebral embolization products market.

Neurostimulation devices are utilized to restore function and re-normalize the circuiting of the nervous system in neurological conditions such as drug-refractory epilepsy, major depressive disorder, post-stroke extremity dysfunction, as well as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Globally, neurological conditions affect hundreds of millions of people.

In our last few posts, we’ve been giving you reasons to attend Emerging Medtech Summit 2020. This industry-leading conference, hosted by Life Science Intelligence, will be held February 18th through the 20th in Dana Point, California, at The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel.

The United States is the largest healthcare market in the world. Boasting the third largest population (~330 million people) and a well-developed healthcare system, the US remains the key market to target for the commercialization of healthcare solutions.

Substantial increases in surgical procedure volumes are being projected across most medical segments as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to:

With a growing focus on the global need for healthcare that is affordable and accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world, comes a look at technologies that are designed to lessen the gap between quality care and individuals outside of developed cities and countries.

Surgical advances have led to the development of life-enhancing and life-saving procedures for a range of medical complications. But these advancements are only as good as the level of skill and knowledge of the surgeon.

Diagnostic imaging devices are essential throughout the continuum of healthcare. From an initial diagnosis and patient evaluation, to guiding procedures, and ultimately following-up and monitoring the effectiveness of interventions post-op - the versatility of diagnostic imaging devices has made them essential to nearly every branch of medicine. Diagnostic imaging encompasses a number of different modalities, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and X-ray. High-quality diagnostic imaging devices are critical to assisting healthcare providers in the decision-making and treatment processes.
