Global Atrial Fibrillation Surgery Market Size

Atrial Fibrillation Surgery Market Analysis

The Atrial Fibrillation Surgery Market is expected to register a CAGR of nearly 12.2% during the forecast period (2022-2027).

COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular disorders are at high risk and are most vulnerable to multiple organ failures, including myocarditis and rhythm disturbance. The data from Wuhan, China, has indicated that arrhythmia and acute cardiac injury were amongst the most prevalent heart complications in confirmed-positive cases of COVID-19. Furthermore, the February 2020 case report in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) identified common complications, such as shock (8.7%), acute respiratory distress syndrome (19.6%), arrhythmia (16.7%), and acute cardiac injury (17.2%) among hospitalized patients. Moreover, patients who received care in the ICU were more likely to have one of these complications than non-ICU patients.

Moreover, owing to the evolving public health crisis of COVID-19, remote monitoring allows clinicians to maintain necessary patient rapport with their healthcare provider when required. Healthcare providers can access information remotely about a patient's health while the patient is at home, which will reduce the need for hospital visits and minimize the risk of exposure to COVID-19. New technologies and digital platforms to aid in remote care should be developed, and further research on the role of telehealth, continuous data collecting, advanced automotive features, and remote patient monitoring is needed to guide best practices, which may fuel the growth of the studied market.

The atrial fibrillation market is driven by the rising prevalence of obesity and heart diseases across the globe. Additionally, heart diseases are one of the major causes of mortality across the globe, and due to the changing lifestyle, the number of people suffering from heart diseases is growing rapidly.

Additionally, the launch of new products in the market will further boost the market growth. For instance, in April 2022, AtriCure, Inc. launched the EnCompass Clamp, a part of the Isolator Synergy Ablation System in the United States. The EnCompass Clamp received FDA 510(k) clearance for ablation of cardiac tissue during cardiac surgery and is designed to make concomitant surgical ablations more efficient.

Furthermore, the rising research and development procedures highlighting the advancements in the Atrial fibrillation market will also boost the market. For instance, in January 2022, Peerbridge Health collaborated with Northwell Health on their newly launched AFib Center of Excellence, a multi-disciplinary effort that optimizes treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib). With Peerbridge's support, Northwell's AFib Center of Excellence will conduct a pilot program focusing on AFib patients with undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The pilot aims to help cardiology and sleep physicians better understand the critical link between the two conditions and how best to quickly and effectively treat AFib and OSA concurrently. Thus, advancements in atrial fibrillation therapeutics are expected to drive the market.

Hence, owing to the aforementioned factors, the market studied is expected to grow in the forecast period. However, the high cost of procedures and regulatory issues associated with these devices is expected to hinder the market growth.
