Research and Markets: New Report Forecasts the Size of Global Defibrillators Market over the Period 2008-2012

Defibrillators are used for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmia, including Ventricular Fibrillation (VF), Ventricular Tachycardia, and Atrial Fibrillation (AF). They provide an electric impulse to the patient's heart, which results in restoring of the normal heart rhythm, thus resolving the arrhythmia. Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) are small battery-powered devices subcutaneously-implanted in patients suffering from cardiac arrhythmia. The External Defibrillators (EDs) include manual external defibrillators, automatic external defibrillators (AEDs), and wearable defibrillators. Unhealthy lifestyle, with less exercise and unhealthy food habits, has propelled the number of patients with heart ailments. Greater awareness of ailments and ageing population are the major growth drivers for Defibrillators.
