Mobile cardiac telemetry, ECG data management systems, and remote patient monitoring represents vast opportunities for key players in this market. With the introduction of mobile telemetry and remote monitoring in the cardiac field, the use of home and ambulatory services is also on the rise.In 2010, there were an estimated 2.2 million users for remote patient monitoring in the U.S. alone; and this number is set to increase threefold to 6 million by 2016.ECG data management systems currently represent worldwide growth opportunity of approximately $130 million

The CRM devices market faced certain challenges in the recent past, owing to research studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and hospital investigations conducted by the Department of Justice (DOJ), which reported the inappropriate use of these devices. This affected the sales of CRM devices. The defibrillators and pacemakers markets showed flat growth rates in the U.S. from 2009 to 2011. However, with the technological advancements such as introduction of MRI pacemakers, subcutaneous ICDs, and home automated external defibrillators(AEDs), this market is expected to bounce back.
