Structural Heart Imaging (SHI) Market: Overview

Structural heart imaging (SHI) is an imaging technique that uses a high-resolution camera to screen the heart to produce clear images that help doctors accurately diagnose a patient’s heart condition. Echocardiography and angiography (MRI, CT, etc.) are the most widely used structural imaging modalities to evaluate cardiac structure and identify narrowing or blockage of blood vessels. The key factors that are expected to drive the growth of the global structural heart imaging market during the forecast period are the increasing prevalence of cardiac heart disease (CHD) globally. In addition, increasing advances in imaging modality technology are expected to drive the growth of the structured heart imaging market. In addition, increasing knowledge about heart diseases, including high blood pressure, could reduce the development of the structured heart imaging (SHI) market.

On the other hand, rising costs are expected to hinder the growth of the structured heart imaging market during the forecast period. Furthermore, the increasing acceptance of advanced devices will present more potential opportunities for structural heart imaging market growth in the coming years. However, inadequate return policies may still challenge the development of the structured heart imaging (SHI) market in the near future.

Structural Heart Imaging Market: Growth Drivers

The increasing prevalence of CHD aids the global market growth

The global structural heart imaging market is mainly driven by factors such as the increasing prevalence of cardiac heart disease (CHD) worldwide, the rising development in imaging modality technology, and growing awareness of heart diseases such as high blood pressure. According to an article published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2019, coronary heart disease affects about 1% of approximately 40,000 births annually, and about 100 to 200 deaths occur yearly due to undetected heart disease in infants in the USA. As a result, the demand for cardiac structural imaging is also increasing, contributing to the growth of the global market.

Structural Heart Imaging Market: Restraints

The strict regulatory guidelines may hamper the global market growth

The key restraints for the global structural heart imaging market are the stringent regulatory guidelines for equipment used in cardiac structural imaging, lack of awareness of cardiac-specific structural imaging, and higher cost are some of the factors the market is expected to hinder market growth.

Structural Heart Imaging Market: Opportunities

The technological advancement in structural heart imaging by market players brings up several growth opportunities

Structural intervention in heart disease is a revolutionary breakthrough that has replaced open surgery and enabled more patients to be treated at a reduced cost. Significant advances have been made in structural cardiac interventions over the past decade. Advances in procedure and imaging are closely linked, from transcardiac aortic and pulmonary valve replacement to left atrial appendage occlusion procedures and mitral repair techniques percutaneous and, more recently, mitral valve replacement with transcardiocentesis & tricuspid intervention.

For instance, the commercial availability of three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography has improved edge-to-edge repair techniques' efficiency, accuracy, and adaptability. The collaboration of ultrasound and equipment companies continues to produce breakthroughs in imaging that can contribute to devising innovation, partly to imaging groups such as the Ultrasonic Society. U.S. echocardiography. Because of the imaging-intensive nature of all these procedures, the radiographer must be familiar with many of the anatomical goals and modern imaging techniques and perform a variety of procedural interventions. Cameras have proven to be crucial to the continued advancement of the field because of this information base. Therefore, the market is expected to offer opportunities from the abovementioned factors during the forecast period.

Structural Heart Imaging Market: Challenges

• The high cost of structural heart imaging is a global challenge: the high cost of installation and maintenance of structural heart imaging is a global challenge as it hinders the adoption of these types of equipment by hospitals and other end users.
• The requirement of government certifications and permission is also a barrier for market players. It limits the use of these types of equipment in the healthcare industry as new market players face problems making their presence in the global market.

Structural Heart Imaging Market: Segmentation

The global structural heart imaging market is segregated based on imaging modality, procedure type, application, end-user, and region.

By imaging modality, the market is divided into echocardiograms and angiograms. Among these, the angiogram segment dominated in 2021. Growth of this segment is favored as demand for different imaging modalities is expected to increase due to the increased diagnostic demand and effective imaging for detecting SHD, especially CHD.

By procedure type, the market is bifurcated into transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR), left atrial appendage closure (LAAC), annuloplasty, valvuloplasty, and others. Over the forecast period, the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) segment is expected to account for the largest share of revenue during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is mainly due to the increasing number of TAVR procedures being implemented worldwide, the durability and long-term effects of these products, and favorable regulatory policies for their use of these devices.

Recent Developments

• October 2021 - NuVera Medical, Inc. published promising results from a non-randomized, single-center First-In-Human (FIH) study that investigated the feasibility of the NuVision ICE Catheter in visualizing the anatomical structures of patients undergoing surgical procedures.
