numerous cardiac ailments, such as heart failure, atrial flutter, coronary
ischemia, lack of oxygen supply to cardiac muscles, indications of recent heart
attack, atrial fibrillation, effects of drugs, and certain genetic errors,
among others. The increasing incidence of cardiac disorders and the growing
number of unmet medical needs across the United Kingdom are primarily driving
the market growth. With this, continuous advancements in the devices and the

cardiac rhythm management sector in the upcoming years.
