Types of Cardiac Pacemakers
Cardiac pacemaker devices are a vital class of cardiac devices that are used to regulate a patient’s heartbeat. The rapid technological progressions in the healthcare sector have resulted in the production of different types of cardiac pacemaker devices with new product formulations. This is a major factor that is responsible for the steady growth of the global cardiac pacemaker devices market.
The different types of cardiac pacemakers include:
- Single-chamber cardiac pacemaker
- Dual-chamber cardiac pacemaker
- Bi-ventricular cardiac pacemaker
Moreover, the rise in cardiac disorders across emerging countries is another factor promoting the market’s growth. Ailments related to the heart have long been identified as a primary health consequence of the economically prosperous lifestyle led by consumers in developed regions. This has led to a rise in government initiatives and support for the development of better cardiac treatment devices, including the cardiac pacemaker.

The Future
Cardiac pacemakers have been around since the 1960’s and have increasingly become a cornerstone of treatment for sick sinus syndrome and complete heart block. However, fully self-contained leadless cardiac pacemakers, which are also MRI compatible will be the future of cardiac pacing. This also enables patients to avoid lead-related and pocket-related complications and infections.
Moreover, with today’s complicated market scenario, marketing strategies are no longer optional in the cardiac pacemaker market. A product marketing solution allows for cohesion between what you offer and what your customers want. An effective product marketing strategy will also enable you to align your teams and produce great content to drive sales.
Cardiac pacemaker market trends:
- Leadless cardiac pacemakers– The use of a leadless cardiac pacemaker prevents lead-related complications, which range from lead fracture to extraction challenges, as well as pocket-related complications such as infection and disfigurement. Also, these devices are compatible with MRI and do not require surgical placement; thus, helping patients to avoid postoperative mobility restrictions.
- Improvements in battery life– The improvements in the manufacturing techniques of cardiac pacemakers have resulted in the development of devices with improved battery life and functionality. Also, owing to the advances in integrated circuits and miniaturization of components, modern pacemakers are getting progressively smaller despite more complex operations. Similarly, battery technology has kept pace, resulting in safer and longer lasting devices.
- Programmability– Cardiac pacemakers were initially not programmable, and manufacturers pre-set the functioning parameters. However, with the advances in technology, the function of the programmability of pacemakers has also changed over time. Moreover, it is now possible to program them from outside the body using telemetry.
