About ablation catheters
Arrhythmia is a condition resulting in an abnormal heartbeat, which occurs due to changes in electrical impulses. The electrical impulses can either be too fast or too slow, resulting in sudden cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrhythmia is one of the leading causes of premature death and is characterized by the abrupt loss of heart function. Cardiac dysfunction results in the inhibition of blood flow to the brain and other vital organs.
In Europe, approximately 11 million people are affected by cardiac arrhythmia, of which 6 million people are affected by atrial fibrillation. An ablation catheter aims to stop the irregular heart beat by removing the abnormal tissue responsible for causing the arrhythmia. It is a minimally invasive procedure usually performed under local anesthesia. The procedure involved one or more flexible catheters threaded through blood vessels into the heart. These catheters record the heart’s electrical activity and identify the tissue responsible for the arrhythmia.
Technavio's analysts forecast the ablation catheters market in Europe to grow at a CAGR of 10.14% over the period 2014-2019.
