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.
