Market Overview A cardiology stethoscope is a specially designed stethoscope for use by doctors and nurses in cardiology and cardiovascular surgery. Its design allows for a greater ability to listen and identify specific heart sounds such as clicks, murmurs, and rubs.
Technological advancements in the cardiology stethoscope to detect congenital heart disease in patients are expected to drive market growth
Computer-assisted auscultation has become available to assist physicians with a physical examination of the heart. It allows experienced cardiologists to evaluate heart sound samples that are collected and transmitted from geographically remote areas. Hence, children located in such areas can be timely diagnosed by experienced cardiologists.
The computer can automatically analyze the uploaded samples, distinguish between abnormal and normal heart sounds, and then provide a rapid diagnosis. A significant amount of research has been carried out to evaluate the accuracy of computer-aided auscultation. Developments of signal processing and classification algorithms can be seen, which were designed to analyze heart murmurs. Despite all the efforts, the adoption of this technology in clinical practice is not widespread; this is because the accuracy and effectiveness of computer-assisted auscultation remain to be rigorously evaluated.
Driver:
There have been a number of advances in auscultation technology, including the introduction of a number of electronic stethoscopes, portable Bluetooth visual electrical stethoscope, stethoscope based on Bluetooth and embedded digital stethoscope that uses the adaptive noise cancellation filter and the Type I Chebyshev IIR bandpass filter to reduce the noise of the heart sound.
The drawbacks associated with an electronic stethoscope are expected to hamper the market growth.
It has less mobility with some models, requires batteries, is more expensive than analog stethoscopes, and is easier to damage electronic components.
