Stress Testing Services Market

Stress Testing Services Market: Overview

• A stress test, also called an exercise stress test, usually involves physical exercise such as walking on a treadmill or riding a stationary bicycle or given a drug that mimics the effects of exercise, to show how the heart works during a physical activity. Since exercise makes our heart pump harder and faster, an exercise stress test can reveal problems with blood flow within the heart which is connected to several heart problems such as ischemic heart disease, heart valve disease, or heart failure.
• The global stress testing services market is anticipated to expand at a significant pace during the forecast period, owing to rise in awareness about the effects of various heart problems

Key Drivers of Global Stress Testing Services Market

• According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular disease is one of the most common reasons for mortality, accounting for approximately 17 million deaths (30% deaths) every year, a number that is expected to increase to over 23.6 million by 2030. The most common reasons for cardiovascular diseases are unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, cholesterol, tobacco use, and alcohol. Rise in cases of cardiovascular diseases boosts the demand for performing stress test in order to diagnose a heart problem before it becomes severe. This is expected to drive the global stress testing services market during the forecast period.
• Advantages of stress testing such as noninvasive imaging test, ready availability, and relatively low cost capital, increase its preference among physicians and this is expected to drive the stress testing services market.

Less Efficacy to Restrain Market

• According to The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independent, volunteer panel of national experts in disease prevention and evidence-based medicine and American College of Cardiology, stress test does not accurately diagnose all cases of coronary artery disease (CAD). Moreover, the same organization urges physicians not to routinely offer exercise stress testing to people without symptoms or strong risk factors for CAD. This can hamper the growth of the stress testing services market.

North America to Hold Major Share of Global Stress Test Services Market

• The stress testing services market in North America is estimated to hold major market share during the forecast period. This can be attributed to increase in geriatric population, high prevalence of coronary artery diseases, and availability of modern health care systems that provide different types of stress tests in the region. This is expected to drive the stress testing services market in the North America. According to CDC data, around 610,000 people die of heart disease in the U.S. alone every year.
• Europe is likely to grow at a faster rate due to increase in number of heart patients. According to the European Cardiovascular Disease Statistics 2017, in 2015, 11.3 million new cases of CVD were reported in Europe and 6.1 million new cases of CVD in the EU. Dietary factors make the largest contribution to the risk of CVD mortality. Fat consumption and energy consumption in Europe has increased and this has led to several cardiovascular diseases and as a result, the demand for early diagnosis of cardiovascular rising which is expected to boost the stress testing services market.
