US demand to reach $16.4 billion in 2012
US demand for cardiac implants will increase 8.8 percent annually to $16.4 billion in 2012. Evolving demographic and epidemiological patterns, along with the introduction of new and improved products, will promote growth. Based on aging population trends, the number of persons afflicted with one or more heart conditions is forecast to reach 73 million in 2012, up 1.7 percent per year from 2007. Implants are more effective than pharmaceuticals in treating, managing or preventing such cardiovascular disorders as arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, peripheral artery disease, stroke and valvular heart disease.
The market for cardiac implants is expected to recover from a sharp decline in coronary drug-eluting stent sales that began in mid-2006 and continued into the fourth quarter of 2007. This decline was due to a number of reports that linked the devices to a slightly greater risk of thrombosis in some post-angioplasty patients. Although the reported risk was only onehalf of one percent greater than for heart patients who received alternative therapies (i.e., angioplasty with bare-metal stents, coronary bypass surgery, medications), it prompted many physicians to discontinue using drug-eluting stents. This trend will change as new generation drug-eluting stents with smaller struts and a greatly reduced risk of complications reach the market over the next year.
