Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kbxkrr/global_cardiac) has announced the addition of the "Global Cardiac Biomarkers Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Cardiac Biomarkers market to grow at a CAGR of 12.75% over the period 2013-2018 A cardiac biomarker is defined as a measurable substance that is an indicator used in the diagnosis and risk stratification related to cardiovascular disease (CVDs) such as acute coronary syndrome (ACS), coronary syndromes, myocardial infarction (MI), and heart failure. Some of the cardiac biomarkers include creatine kinase (CK) MB, troponins (cTnI and cTnT), BNP, NT-proBNP, GFAP, H-FABP, LDH isoenzymes, D-dimer, IMA, MPO, myoglobin, and sCD40L. Cardiac biomarker assays help medical professionals to understand and differentiate between myocardial infarction and angina, which assists in the diagnosis and treatment of CVDs. The abnormal concentration of these biomarkers will act as significant predictors of an adverse cardiovascular condition. Cardiac point of care (POC) testing offers reliable measurement of cardiac biomarkers and provides results within one hour of testing. In addition to saving time, some cardiac POC tests have been modified to improve the accuracy of the measurement of enzymes to reduce operational error. The identification of new cardiac biomarkers (H-FABP, GPBB, Urotensin II, and S-100 as potential cardiac biomarkers) and the advances being made in diagnostic technologies are some of the major trends uocoming in this market. According to the report, one of the major factors driving this market is the increase in the incidence of cardiac disorders. This increase in the incidence of CVDs, HF, and coronary syndromes is leading to increased adoption of cardiac POC tests because they provide rapid diagnostics for analyzing the specificity of the disease. Further, the report states that one key challenge in the market is the lack of specific measures to detect the presence of CVDs, which may have an adverse effect on patients because it may lead to incorrect diagnosis, and in serious cardiac conditions it may even cause death Key Vendors - Abbott Laboratories - Alere - Ortho Clinical Diagnostics - Roche Diagnostics For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kb...al_cardiac

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5x4zcw/global_bgm_device) has announced the addition of the "Global BGM Device Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. Diabetes is a disease that occurs when the body is unable to produce insulin, or when the glucose rises above the required levels. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, is used to process glucose, which acts as a fuel for the tissues. BGM is the process of testing the concentration of insulin or glucose in the blood. A blood glucose meter is a small electronic device used to measure and display the blood glucose level. To measure the level of blood glucose, a small drop of blood is taken by pricking a finger with an instrument called a lancet. The blood is then placed on a disposable blood glucose test strip and this is inserted into a blood glucose meter. One key trend emerging in the market is the change in the preference of patients to take advantage of home healthcare rather than going to hospitals. The move toward proactive monitoring rather than waiting for treatment is opening up new opportunities for the Global BGM Device market. According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is the increasing incidence of diabetic patients. The increase in the prevalence of diabetes and the high market potential of diabetes products has encouraged various companies to explore the Global BGM Device market. Further, the report states that one of the main challenges in the market is the high cost of BGM devices. Despite the numerous benefits, the high cost of BGM devices hinders their acceptability among patients. Many patients do not have the required funds to invest in a device. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the sales of the three segments as mentioned below: - Blood Glucose Strips - Blood Glucose Meters - Lancets Key Vendors - Abbott Laboratories - Arkray - Bayer Healthcare - F. Hoffmann-La Roche - LifeScan For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5x...bgm_device

Global Cardiac Biomarkers Market 2014-2018 with Abbott Laboratories, Alere, Ortho Clinical Diagnostics & Roche Diagnostics Dominating
M2 - Thu Nov 13, 5:05AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kbxkrr/global_cardiac) has announced the addition of the "Global Cardiac Biomarkers Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Cardiac Biomarkers market to grow at a CAGR of 12.75% over the period 2013-2018 A cardiac biomarker is defined as a measurable substance that is an indicator used in the diagnosis and risk stratification related to cardiovascular disease (CVDs) such as acute coronary syndrome (ACS), coronary syndromes, myocardial infarction (MI), and heart failure. Some of the cardiac biomarkers include creatine kinase (CK) MB, troponins (cTnI and cTnT), BNP, NT-proBNP, GFAP, H-FABP, LDH isoenzymes, D-dimer, IMA, MPO, myoglobin, and sCD40L. Cardiac biomarker assays help medical professionals to understand and differentiate between myocardial infarction and angina, which assists in the diagnosis and treatment of CVDs. The abnormal concentration of these biomarkers will act as significant predictors of an adverse cardiovascular condition. Cardiac point of care (POC) testing offers reliable measurement of cardiac biomarkers and provides results within one hour of testing. In addition to saving time, some cardiac POC tests have been modified to improve the accuracy of the measurement of enzymes to reduce operational error. The identification of new cardiac biomarkers (H-FABP, GPBB, Urotensin II, and S-100 as potential cardiac biomarkers) and the advances being made in diagnostic technologies are some of the major trends uocoming in this market. According to the report, one of the major factors driving this market is the increase in the incidence of cardiac disorders. This increase in the incidence of CVDs, HF, and coronary syndromes is leading to increased adoption of cardiac POC tests because they provide rapid diagnostics for analyzing the specificity of the disease. Further, the report states that one key challenge in the market is the lack of specific measures to detect the presence of CVDs, which may have an adverse effect on patients because it may lead to incorrect diagnosis, and in serious cardiac conditions it may even cause death Key Vendors - Abbott Laboratories - Alere - Ortho Clinical Diagnostics - Roche Diagnostics For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kb...al_cardiac

Global BGM Device Market 2014-2018 with Abbott Laboratories, Arkray, Bayer Healthcare, F. Hoffmann-La Roche & LifeScan Dominating
M2 - Thu Nov 13, 5:05AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5x4zcw/global_bgm_device) has announced the addition of the "Global BGM Device Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. Diabetes is a disease that occurs when the body is unable to produce insulin, or when the glucose rises above the required levels. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, is used to process glucose, which acts as a fuel for the tissues. BGM is the process of testing the concentration of insulin or glucose in the blood. A blood glucose meter is a small electronic device used to measure and display the blood glucose level. To measure the level of blood glucose, a small drop of blood is taken by pricking a finger with an instrument called a lancet. The blood is then placed on a disposable blood glucose test strip and this is inserted into a blood glucose meter. One key trend emerging in the market is the change in the preference of patients to take advantage of home healthcare rather than going to hospitals. The move toward proactive monitoring rather than waiting for treatment is opening up new opportunities for the Global BGM Device market. According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is the increasing incidence of diabetic patients. The increase in the prevalence of diabetes and the high market potential of diabetes products has encouraged various companies to explore the Global BGM Device market. Further, the report states that one of the main challenges in the market is the high cost of BGM devices. Despite the numerous benefits, the high cost of BGM devices hinders their acceptability among patients. Many patients do not have the required funds to invest in a device. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the sales of the three segments as mentioned below: - Blood Glucose Strips - Blood Glucose Meters - Lancets Key Vendors - Abbott Laboratories - Arkray - Bayer Healthcare - F. Hoffmann-La Roche - LifeScan For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5x...bgm_device
