Market Analysis

The primary objective of the 7th International Conference on Cardiology and Hypertension is to ensure cost-effective, clinically appropriate care for individuals affected by heart disease. This issue is predominantly driven by various cardiovascular conditions such as ischemic heart disease, stroke, dyslipidemia, thrombosis, atherosclerosis, coronary artery diseases, peripheral artery disease, and hypertension. Unhealthy dietary habits, obesity, smoking, high cholesterol, physical inactivity, excessive alcohol consumption, and poor lifestyle choices are identified as the leading causes of these disorders.

Cardiovascular diseases claim approximately 15 million lives annually worldwide, making it a significant contributor to adult mortality, accounting for roughly 50%. To address this pressing issue, national and international symposiums, conferences, and workshops serve as dedicated platforms for the exchange, advancement, and implementation of knowledge in cardiovascular medicine and related fields.

Heart failure, a prevalent cardiovascular condition, has various etiologies, with hypertension being the leading cause in 45% of patients. Other contributing factors include cardiomyopathies (28%), rheumatic heart disease (12%), ischemic heart disease (9%), and miscellaneous causes (6%). Cardiomyopathies, particularly idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, are predominant, while rheumatic mitral disease stands as the most common valvular lesion.

The 7th International Conference on Cardiology and Hypertension presents a prime opportunity for scientists, cardiologists, oncologists, electrophysiologists, surgeons, nurses, researchers, students, and other stakeholders to exchange knowledge and insights in the field of cardiology and cardiac surgery. Emphasizing the quest for non-invasive imaging techniques for heart diseases and heart failure in both adults and children, this event aims to foster innovation and collaboration.

In terms of market growth, North America holds the largest share (47%) of the heart diagnostics market, followed by Europe (38%) and Asia (15%). The conference attracts a diverse array of professionals, including directors, heads, deans, professors, scientists, researchers, physicians, students, and industry representatives, all contributing to the advancement of pediatric cardiology and related disciplines.

Therapeutically, the focus lies on inhibiting congestive heart failure progression through pharmacological and device-based interventions. Efforts are underway to develop device-based therapies to enhance cardiac reserve and pump function, thereby mitigating adverse outcomes associated with heart failure exacerbations and comorbidities such as arrhythmias, ischemia, valvulopathy, and end-organ damage. Early detection of pathophysiological changes holds promise for preventive measures, underscoring the potential role of device-based approaches in managing congestive heart failure effectively.
