Fractional Flow Reserve Market Size Incredible Possibilities And Growth Analysis
The fractional flow reserve (FFR) method is used to calculate the blood pressure difference across coronary artery stenosis (blockage). Fractional Flow Reserve Market is regarded as a gold standard for determining the need for angioplasty. This technique is used during the angiography process to assess the amount of oxygen delivered to the heart as a result of the stenosis (blockage). The pressure after a stenosis, relative to the pressure before the stenosis, is defined as fractional flow reserve. A sheath and guidewire are used to insert a catheter into the femoral or radial arteries during coronary catheterization. The wire has a sensor called a transducer on the tip that measures blood pressure, temperature, and flow to determine the severity of the blockage.
Leading manufacturers are engaged in the production of products for the treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD). For example, in May 2019, Phillips introduced Instant Wave Free Ratio (iFR), a modified version of the Fractional Flow Reserve Market. This modified version eliminates the need for adenosine, which is typically used in FFR to induce hyperemia in patients. Furthermore, Heartflow introduced an FFR-embedded new cardiac CT scanner (FFRCT) in 2014, allowing patients to avoid the invasive testing procedure performed during cardiac catheterization. In addition, Opsens, Inc. launched "Optowire," a guide wire with optic sensing technology, in November 2019. Furthermore, CathWorks, a Japanese company, received FDA approval for FFRangio, a non-invasive FFR technique in humans.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), coronary heart disease (CHD) killed 365, 914 people worldwide in 2017. Furthermore, according to the same source, 18.2 million adults over the age of 20 worldwide suffer from CHD, with people under the age of 65 accounting for 2 in 10 deaths. Over the forecast period, these factors are expected to drive the global Fractional Flow Reserve Market growth. CHD can be caused by an unhealthy lifestyle, such as eating foods high in sodium and fat, not exercising, smoking, and drinking alcohol, among other things. For example, according to the American Heart Association's Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics report for 2016, approximately 15.5 million people in the United States had CHD in 2016. According to the same source, approximately 37.5 percent of men and 18.3 percent of women have CHD.
