An electrocardiogram is one of the most useful non-invasive tools used for the diagnoses of cardiac diseases. Owing to the developments in telecommunication infrastructure, several developments were made in the field of telemetry cardiac devices. Telemetry ECG devices help in the easy and fast ECG monitoring of patients suffering from cardiac disorders.

Arrhythmia is a condition, in which the heart rhythm becomes abnormal. The electrical impulses occur too fast or too slow, leading to the reduced efficiency of the heart to pump blood. For the diagnoses of arrhythmias, various devices are used. However, ECG telemetry devices are the most effective tools for the detection of arrhythmias. As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 2.7-6.1 million people in the United States suffer from arrhythmias, and with the rapid increase in the aging population, this number is expected to rise in the future. In the United States, around 2% of the population below the age of 65 and 9% above the age of 65 suffer from arrhythmias.

As the prevalence of arrhythmia is expected to rise, the need for better diagnostic tools is increasing. Hence, ECG telemetry devices are of much significance, as they provide easier and faster monitoring of the heart.

Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of deaths in the United States and the primary cause of acute care and physician visits.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the United States, cardiovascular diseases cause around 610,000 deaths, every year, and these diseases account for almost one in every four deaths.

Every year, about 735,000 people suffer from heart attacks. Thus, the rise in the number of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and heart attacks lead to an increased demand for diagnostic tools, in the country.

The cardiovascular diagnostic sector prefers ECG telemetry devices, as they are the easiest and fastest tools for the diagnoses of CVDs. The United States provides good reimbursement facilities for patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases. This factor is helping the growth of the ECG telemetry devices market. In the United States, government initiatives, such as ‘A Public Health Action Plan to Prevent Heart Disease and Stroke’, are also increasing the utilization of novel technologies. This is ultimately contributing to the growth of the ECG telemetry devices market in the United States.

Additionally, investments in patient healthcare are increasing in the United States, which is ultimately helping the growth of the ECG telemetry devices market. Currently, the United States dominates the ECG telemetry devices market, and it had the largest market size in 2017.
