Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :
MRI compatible pacemakers is the biggest trend in pacemaker technology. These devices allow patients to safely undergo MRI examination without interfering with the device functioning. As reported by the Mayo Clinic, 75% of patients that have implantable cardiac devices need at least 1 MRI in their lifetime. Biotronik also reported that each year, at least 20% patients with pacemaker need MRI assessment within the first two years of implantation. In May 2015, the company also reported that 60% of the pacemakers sold by the company were MRI compatible.
It is also suggested that a majority of the patients with pacemakers are geriatrics and are likely to need MRI after implantation, as this population often may have other chronic conditions. Boston Scientific received FDA approval in 2016 for its system of MRI safe pacemaker products. Abbott also received FDA clearance in 2017 for its MRI safe Assurity MRI pacemaker and Tendril MRI lead. Furthermore, the Advisa MRI SureScan system from Medtronic is approved for 1.5T and 3.0T MRI scans.
Moreover, manufacturers are also working on improving the battery life of pacemakers. As pacemakers are also being implanted in younger patients, longevity of these devices is more sought after. Battery life of pacemakers often depend on the pacing needs; some manufacturers have developed algorithms for real time heart monitoring and reduce pacing for extending the battery life.
The global pacemakers market is classified based on the position, technique and types. Based on the position of pacemakers, the demand for implantable pacemakers is the highest due to the technological innovation towards improving the life and size of the implants. Among the techniques of pacemakers, biventricular pacemakers are anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR of over 3.5% during the forecast period. MRI compatible devices are in the highest demand and of high preference by surgeons, due to the proven convenience in post-surgery monitoring and treatment of other chronic conditions such as cancer, orthopedic trauma, etc.
Based on regions, the global pacemakers market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Central and South America and Middle East & Africa.
North America currently holds the largest share in pacemakers market. market owing to the better reimbursements, greater awareness in both patients and caregivers, higher prevalence of CVDs in the general population, greater adoption in geriatric patients and so on. Asia Pacific, on the ground of burgeoning medical tourism, improving healthcare infrastructure and insurance system will garner the highest growth rate during the forecast period. Countries such as India, China and Japan house the largest geriatric population. Implantation of pacemakers is always the highest in patients aged 65 and above. Influx of foreign patients in the region owing to better service through medical tourism is also contributing to the high growth rate of Asia Pacific market.
