Cardiac Assist Devices Market Continues to Expand with SynCardia Systems, LLC receiving the U.S. FDA approval for its 50cc temporary Total Artificial Heart System, aiding heart transplantation
A ventricular aid device, also called a ventricular assist pump, is an electro-mechanical device designed to help cardiac pumping, which in turn is intended to help maintain a constant heartbeat rhythm. When a ventricular aid device is needed for immediate medical attention, it is attached to the heart via the cardio-respiratory pathways to provide stimulation that helps maintain the heart rhythm. This is typically done with a latex hose or other similar device that provides a steady supply of suction to help keep the heart from stopping so it can pump blood. Increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is expected to drive growth of the global cardiacassist devices market . According to the American Heart Association (AMA), in 2016, cardiovascular disease accounted for 17.6 million deaths across the globe. According to the same source, that number is expected to reach 23.6 million by 2030. Furthermore, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 17.9 million p...
