A cardiac pacemaker is an implantable device that regulates the heartbeat or stimulates the heart's lower chambers by delivering short electrical currents to the heart's muscles. The pacemaker can provide short pacing without mobile removal and is wireless, battery-free, and implanted. Significant participants in the healthcare industry, supportive, informal policies for improved pacemaker technology, and an upsurge in the prevalence of hypertension all contribute to the market's CAGR growth for cardiac pacemakers. It treats hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, congestive cardiac failure, and syncope. Epicardial or endocardial surgery is a procedure used to implant the pacemaker. Additionally, lowering future risks of heart failure is one of the main purposes of the CRT-P device.

The widespread use of CRT-P devices is expanding due to their additional advantages and effective treatment of heart rhythm problems. The patient's chest is sliced open during this procedure, and the pacemaker electrodes are inserted. The market is growing primarily due to increasing CVD cases, rising expenses of managing cardiac illness, encouraging government initiatives, and developing technologically advanced pacemakers, such as leadless and MRI-safe pacemaker devices. The cost of heart disease, which is increasing, is one of the key factors driving the market's expansion. Coronary heart disease is one of the leading causes of CVD mortality globally. One of the key factors influencing market expansion is the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disorders. Cardiovascular disorders are mostly brought on by coronary heart disease. Pacemakers can be used for a short or very long period, depending on the heart's needs. Also, pacemakers are very important in monitoring and evaluating the patient's heart rate, providing physiologic heart rate, and delivering diagnostic data concerning a heart issue.

The AVEIR DR from Abbott is the initial dual chamber leadless pacing system created specifically for treating people with abnormal or sluggish heart rhythms. The AVEIR DR leadless pacing system, which is around one-tenth the size of a typical pacemaker, comprises two devices: the AVEIR AR single chamber device, which paces the right atrium, and the AVEIR VR single chamber device, which paces the other ventricle. Based on the patient's clinical requirements, Abbott's unique i2i communication technology enables synced or coordinated cardiac pumping among the two leadless pacemakers. Through the naturally conductive blood properties of the body, this device uses high-frequency bursts to send information to each leadless pacemaker.

Abbott, for instance, made history in February 2022 by implanting the first dual-chamber leadless pacemaker in a patient under its significant clinical research project called AVEIR DR i2i. The primary global implantation of Abbott’s innovative Aveir dual-chamber leadless pacemaker in the pivotal study is an important advancement in leadless pacing technology.

In January 2022, Medtronic received approval from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare to sell and have Micra AV Transcatheter Pacing System (TPS) reimbursed. Dual chamber pacemakers are known as Micra TV.

The Micra AV was launched by India Medtronic Private Limited in June 2021 which is a tiny, entirely self-contained type of pacer involving atrioventricular (AV) block patients attaining new pacing technologies through a minimally invasive approach. It is the first device among pacemakers that can detect atrial activity even if there is no lead or any other device inside the upper chamber of the heart.

In January 2021, Boston Scientific Corporation announced its plans to acquire Preventice Solutions, developers that specialize in remote cardiac monitoring and highlight its strategic expansion intentions into this field.

Early next year Boston Scientific Corporation will acquire Preventice Solutions, a company that develops remote cardiac monitoring systems.

As part of its major clinical research project AVEIR DR i2i, Abbott implanted a dual-chamber leadless pacer into one patient, leading to history in the process. In terms of pacing technology without leads, it is significant that Abbott has completed its pivotal study with the first global implantation of its innovative Aveir dual-chamber leadless pacemaker.

In August 2022, Cornell University tested their newly developed pacemaker on a mini-donkey suffering from severe cardiac disease for efficacy in managing fatal heart conditions. EEG/echocardiography was performed while an ECG was placed on it to record heartbeats; it was quite satisfactory, and within two months or so, the donkey’s condition slowly improved. Next month, FDA approval will be received for this new pacemaker from Cornell University.

Cardiac Pacemaker Market Trends

• Rising senior population boosts the market growth

The rising senior population should drive the market over the estimated time frame. This is due to the way mature humans are powerless against cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, improvements in pacemakers drive the market. For example, in January 2020, clinical device company Medtronic Plc. reported approval of the Micra A.V.A.V., the smallest atrioventricular (A.V.A.V.) synchronized pacemaker. Micra A.V.A.V. is indicated for treating patients experiencing adverse effects of A.V.A.V. blockade. Additionally, a scientist at Northwestern University and George Washington University announced in 2020 the launch of the first transient pacemaker, which disintegrates in the body after use. The pacemaker is remote, battery-free, and fully implantable, providing brief pacing without mobile extraction. Thus, significant players in healthcare services clinical devices, favorable unofficial regulations for advanced pacemaker improvements, and rising incidence of hypertension drive the growth of market CAGR for cardiac pacemaker.

The rising incidence of CVD, rising cost of cardiovascular diseases in executives, desirable government initiatives, and the introduction of mechanically improved pacemakers such as MRI-safe pacemakers and leadless pacemakers are major drivers of surveillance development. The rising weight of cardiovascular diseases is one of the important variables for market development. Coronary heart disease is one of the main causes of cardiovascular diseases. The economic cost of these diseases is projected to exceed $1,044 billion by 2032, including a huge growth in cardiac Pacemaker Market revenue.

The American Heart Association says the number of patients hospitalized for cardiac arrest is expected to increase by nearly 23.6 Billion by 2032. The end-user segment is segmented into hospitals, cardiac centers, ambulatory surgery centers, and others.

News

Researchers in the US have unveiled a wireless-powered implant that can identify and painlessly fix abnormal heartbeats. The team at the University of Arizona, led by Philipp Gutruf, based the idea on a flexible mesh that encircles and keeps an eye on the heart. More precisely than current pacemakers, optical signals an onboard computer produces are employed to target heart muscle cells. This strategy might result in much more pleasant gadgets for millions of people with heart disease.
