Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are one of the foremost public health challenge across the globe. According to World Organization (WHO) estimate, about 17.5 million people died from cardiovascular diseases in 2012, accounting for 31% of all global deaths. Around one third of CVD deaths take place in the low and middle income countries. By the year 2030, more than 23 million people are likely to die annually from cardiovascular diseases. There is an unmet market need for better diagnostics and therapeutics to prevent the mortality from CVDs. Major factors driving the global cardiac equipment market are, rising geriatric population along with higher incidence of coronary artery diseases, stroke, heart failure, hypertension and diabetes. Furthermore, unhealthy sedentary lifestyle, smoking tobacco, and the high intake of salt and cholesterol, supplement the developments in this market. However, the high cost of treatment and a stringent regulatory environment, are likely to restrain the market growth.
