Market Analysis of Cardiac Electrical Mapping Platform in the Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Market

This thesis will provide a market analysis for a cardiac electrical mapping system with an overview of the circulatory system, physiology of the heart and cardiac arrhythmias and the technology platform of the application. The ECVue system is based on electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) that consists of a disposable electrode vest and a bedside unit that displays 3-D images of the electrical activity of the heart’s surface in a beat by beat fashion. The device would be used in detecting abnormal electrical activity of the heart. The company intends to market the device in the Cardiac Resynchronization therapy (CRT) market. The device would be used in pre-screening patients to determine eligibility for CRT, during CRT device implantation for optimizing lead placement and in follow-up for examining the effectiveness of implanted device. The company has received CE approval and is currently working towards obtaining FDA 510(k) clearance.
