ly, cardiovascular disorders are a serious health concern. In recent years, these disorders have become more common. People over 65 are most at risk, and the risk rises with age. The World Health Organisation (WHO) reports that cardiovascular illnesses are the main cause of death worldwide, accounting for over 18 million fatalities annually. One in three deaths in the U.S., or around 655,000 deaths each year, are caused by CVDs. Heart irregularities, such as beating too quickly or too slowly, are known as arrhythmias. It can affect people of all ages and be brought on by a number of conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. The ageing population, bad lifestyles, and poor diets are only a few of the reasons why CVDs are now more common everywhere. Both developed and developing nations have seen an increase in the risk of cardiovascular disease with ageing. Demand for medical equipment, including ECG machines, and related accessories such cables and lead wires is driven by the increase in CD usage. Various cardiac problems, such as arrhythmia, heart attack, and heart failure, are diagnosed and monitored using ECG devices. The  market CAGR for lead wires and ECG cables is anticipated to increase because to the growth in demand for these devices.
The demand for more sophisticated medical equipment and an increase in the adoption of patient monitoring devices have been the main drivers of the recent significant growth in the  market for ECG cables and lead wires. In order for medical personnel to get precise and real-time data on a patient's heart activity, ECG cables and lead wires are critical parts of patient monitoring equipment. By connecting electrodes to the patient monitor, they serve as the link between the patient monitoring device and the patient. ECG lead wires and cables come in a variety of lengths, colors, and varieties, including reusable and disposable. These tools are used to assess impedance and ECG respiration in both adult and pediatric patients, and they are now an essential component of cardiac care facilities.
Governments throughout the world are spending an astounding amount of money to upgrade the current healthcare system, which is causing a tremendous growth in the market for ECG cables and lead wires. Patients can receive high-quality treatments around-the-clock because to improved healthcare infrastructure. Additionally, research has been widely conducted to enhance the efficiency and quality of current practices, which is a major factor in the market's expansion.
