These factors which result in obesity and hypertension are also identified as the underlying cause of cardiovascular disorders. The number of people diagnosed with coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, pulmonary embolism and congenital heart disease is rising rapidly worldwide. Therefore, the need for preventive healthcare has arisen and realized by countries with high burden of these disorders. Thus, the demand for cardiovascular monitoring and diagnostic devices is expected to rise in such countries. Based on the product type, the global cardiovascular monitoring and diagnostic devices market is categorized into six segments namely ECG systems, cardiovascular diagnostic catheters, holter monitors, event monitors, implantable loop recorders and ECG management systems. Among these, ECG systems held the majority share of the global cardiovascular monitoring and diagnostic devices market in 2012, while the global market for implantable loop recorders is expected to grow at a faster pace during the forecast period. The ECG systems market is majorly dominated by the resting ECG systems owing to higher demand from customers due to convenience in the procedure. The demand for these systems will rise further owing to their lower price and rising demand from patients.
