Atrial Fibrillation Market Is Expected To Reach  $11.123 Billion At A CAGR 11.2 % Through 2023

Palm Beach, FL – November 4, 2021 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – Atrial fibrillation is an ailment in which the heart beats irregularly, unlike the usual heartbeat. The upper chambers of the heart, the atria quiver in a very rapid pattern and thus the blood flow slows down or stagnates. The ventricles also beat unevenly and do not push blood around the body as efficiently. There is a growing amount of R&D to seek improvement in intracardiac signals and signal quality. Factors such as growing geriatric population and rise in medical tourism are expected to drive the growth of the market. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 750,000 hospitalizations occur each year because of AFib in the US and the condition contributes to an estimated 130,000 deaths each year. Also, Increased incidence of risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes propel atrial fibrillation market growth.  In fact, a report from Market Research Future said that the market of atrial fibrillation is expected to grow significantly through 2023, where it is expected to reach USD 11.12 billion at a CAGR 11.2 % through 2023… While another report from iHealthcare Analyst is even more optimistic on market growth. It said the global market for atrial fibrillation predicted to attain $29.1 billion by 2027 growing at the rate of 11.4% CAGR, driven by increasing incidence and prevalence of disorders causing atrial fibrillation such as hypertension and obesity, rising geriatric population and age-related disorders.  The Market Research report continued: “Catheter ablation segment is projected to hold the largest share in the market, as it is a minimally invasive type of surgery which is the most preferred and used, as it lessens the risk of complications, whereas electric cardioversion is estimated to be the fastest growing segment because of its specificity of treatment and decreased recurrence rate.   Active healthcare and tech stocks in news today include:  BioSig Technologies, Inc.

The market growth in this region is attributed to the availability of funds for research, and favorable reimbursement scenario. According to a journal published by European Heart Network, approximately 10 million people in Europe live with the atrial fibrillation condition.  Asia-Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest growing region in the market due to the presence of a huge patient population susceptible to cardiac diseases, continuously developing economies and rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases.
