Nuclear cardiology studies use non-invasive techniques to assess myocardial blood flow, evaluate the pumping function of the heart as well as visualize the size and location of a heart attack. Among the techniques of nuclear cardiology, myocardial perfusion imaging is the most widely used. Myocardial perfusion images are connected with exercise to assess the blood flow to the heart muscle and diagnosis can be in the form of walking on the treadmill or riding a stationary bicycle. A chemical stress test using the drug dipyridamole, adenosine, regadenoson, or dobutamine can be action in patients who are not able to exercise maximally, providing similar information about the heart’s blood flow. Some of the topics covered by Nuclear Cardiology are Nuclear Medicine Imaging, Myocardial Perfusion Imaging/Nuclear stress Test, Angiocardiography, Cardiac Inflammation, Radiocardiography. The nuclear cardiology market is attracting mainly on three major segments namely radiology devices, picture archiving and communications systems, radiology information systems and radiopharmaceuticals.
Nuclear Cardiology (market size worth approximately $25 million) is the most common cardiac imaging technique performed in Asia-Pacific today. It accounts for over 60% of all cardiac imaging tests. Echocardiography is widely used an important tool primarily in the diagnosis and assessment of valvular heart disease and CAD, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, aortic dissection, evaluation of complex valve replacements, surgical repair of congenital abnormalities. Taking into consideration the prevalence of echocardiography today, the future may witness a further increase in market penetration and clinical utilization. This is likely to broaden the applications for Echocardiography, thus ensuring the prospect of incremental growth in the future.
