Cardiac MRI Testing Market

Global Cardiac MRI Testing Market: Overview

A cardiac MRI is used to monitor or detect any heart-related abnormality or defect. Cardiac monitors use magnetic waves to produce a detailed picture of the heart. It is usually used to get detailed information regarding the severity of various heart problems such as coronary heart disease, congenital heart conditions, tumors, cardiomyopathy, and heart valve diseases. Cardiac MRI helps evaluate the functioning of the heart, including all structures such as heart chambers, valves, and vessels. It helps in diagnosing heart diseases, monitoring patients’ condition, and evaluating effects of any heart condition such as heart attack and coronary heart disease.

Global Cardiac MRI Testing Market: Key Trends

Major factors driving the cardiac MRI testing market include increase in the prevalence of heart diseases globally, rise in the geriatric population, and technological advancements. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 600,000 people in the U.S. die because of heart disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S.. According to the WHO, approximately 17.9 million people die of heart disease every year globally, and 85% of all heart disease deaths are due to strokes and heart attacks. These factors are estimated to drive the market in the near future. However, stringent government regulations and unfavorable reimbursement policies are major factors that are projected to restrain the growth of the cardiac MRI testing market during forecast period.
