TechNavio Insights announces this week, the release of the report ‘Global Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Market 2008-2012.’

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICD) are surgically implanted in people to treat lethal ventricular arrhythmias, such as ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation.

Presently, ICDs are widely being used in Americas and Europe, and ICD therapies are growing potentially across Asian countries, such as China, Japan and India.

According to TechNavio, “the global market for ICD is estimated to grow 4.4% over the forecast period.”
