Global Capsule Endoscopes <strong>Market</strong> <strong>Size</strong>, <strong>Share</strong>, <strong>Development</strong>,<strong>Growth</strong> <strong>and</strong> Dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>Forecast</strong> <strong>to</strong> 2020Over the recent years, the global au<strong>to</strong>mated external defibrilla<strong>to</strong>r (AED) market has witnessed double digitgrowth, due <strong>to</strong> the rising frequencies of several cardio-vascular diseases <strong>and</strong> aging population. Rapid growth inthe aging population with higher risk of target diseases is a major driver influencing the growth of au<strong>to</strong>matedexternal defibrilla<strong>to</strong>r market. Moreover, extensive availability of medical facilities for patients suffering from suddencardiac arrest (SCA) <strong>and</strong> advancement in medical technology are some drivers of the global au<strong>to</strong>mated externaldefibrilla<strong>to</strong>r market. The au<strong>to</strong>mated external cardiac defibrilla<strong>to</strong>r market is one of the fastest growing segmentswhereas; the implantable/Internal cardiac defibrilla<strong>to</strong>rs segment is one of the largest segments in the globaldefibrilla<strong>to</strong>r market.Explore more <strong>and</strong> request for TOC on global au<strong>to</strong>mated external defibrilla<strong>to</strong>r (AED) market:https://www.psmarketresearch.com/market-analysis/au<strong>to</strong>mated-external-defibrilla<strong>to</strong>r-marketThe au<strong>to</strong>mated external defibrilla<strong>to</strong>r market can be classified on the basis of technology <strong>and</strong> end-user. On thebasis of technology, the global au<strong>to</strong>mated external defibrilla<strong>to</strong>r market is further divided in<strong>to</strong> semi-au<strong>to</strong>mated <strong>and</strong>fully au<strong>to</strong>mated external defibrilla<strong>to</strong>rs. The end-user market for au<strong>to</strong>mated external defibrilla<strong>to</strong>r is categorized in<strong>to</strong>hospitals, pre-hospitals, public access <strong>and</strong> other alternate care market.An au<strong>to</strong>mated external defibrilla<strong>to</strong>r can identify <strong>and</strong> detect life threatening arrhythmias. One of the maincardiovascular disorders affecting worldwide population is the sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). In sudden cardiacarrest, the heartbeat suddenly s<strong>to</strong>ps <strong>and</strong> can result in death. SCA is a disorder in which the heart abruptly <strong>and</strong>unpredictably s<strong>to</strong>ps functioning or beating, which finally leads <strong>to</strong> the reduced blood supply <strong>to</strong> brain <strong>and</strong> manyother vital organs of the body. About 95% of patients who suffer from sudden cardiac arrest die within a minute.This arrest occurs due <strong>to</strong> an irregular heart rhythm, which is known as ventricular fibrillation. The AED enablesdiagnosis of life risking cardiac arrests of ventricular fibrillation <strong>and</strong> ventricular tachycardia in patients <strong>and</strong> keeps acheck on heart rhythm. AED works on the basis of electrical analysis, which s<strong>to</strong>ps the arrhythmia by establishingan effective rhythm.However, sudden cardiac arrest is different from a heart attack. In a sudden cardiac arrest, when the heart s<strong>to</strong>psbeating, its electrical system is affected <strong>and</strong> blood flow <strong>to</strong> the brain interrupts the functioning of other organs. Onthe other h<strong>and</strong>, a heart attack happens, due <strong>to</strong> the blockage of blood vessels, which results in interruption ofblood flow. Therefore, an au<strong>to</strong>mated external defibrilla<strong>to</strong>r provides an electric shock <strong>to</strong> res<strong>to</strong>re the patient's normalcardiac rhythm.A home use defibrilla<strong>to</strong>r has hit the market of au<strong>to</strong>mated external defibrilla<strong>to</strong>rs <strong>and</strong> is anticipated <strong>to</strong> provide vas<strong>to</strong>pportunities in the near future. The only au<strong>to</strong>mated external defibrilla<strong>to</strong>r approved for home use is, PhilipsHeartStart Home <strong>Defibrilla<strong>to</strong>r</strong> which works by delivering a jolt of electricity <strong>to</strong> the patient in case of irregularheartbeat. The growth of au<strong>to</strong>mated external defibrilla<strong>to</strong>rs is due <strong>to</strong> increased awareness in the US healthcare© P&S <strong>Market</strong> Research.
