PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to a recent market research report published by Grand View Research, a consulting and advisory service firm that provides comprehensive, research-based views crucial for building business intelligence and overcoming market challenges, "the global electrophysiology devices market size was valued at $5.1 Billion in 2018. Increasing use of electrophysiology devices in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as atrial fibrillation, growing demand for cardiac rhythm management devices for continuous monitoring and increasing use of these devices in out-of-hospital settings are some high impact rendering growth drivers of the market." Active healthcare stocks in news today include: BioSig Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:BSGM), Amarin Corporation plc (NASDAQ: AMRN), Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company Ltd. (NYSE: BHVN), Aimmune Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIMT).
Grand View Research further commented "as per the European Society of Cardiology, Sudden Cardiac Arrest due to abnormal heart rhythm is one of the major reasons for deaths in western countries. It affects approximately 1 in 1000 inhabitants per year. Electrophysiology devices are cardiology specialty devices used mainly in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias and therefore, the growing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is expected to serve this market as a driver. Introduction of new technologies such as cryoablation, laser ablation, and ultrasound ablation and advanced mapping technologies are also expected to boost the demand in the coming years."
BioSig Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:BSGM), a medical technology company developing a proprietary biomedical signal processing platform designed to address an unmet technology need for the electrophysiology (EP) marketplace, today announced that it signed a new licensing agreement with Mayo Clinic.

The development program will be run under the leadership of Samuel J. Asirvatham, M.D., Mayo Clinic’s Vice-Chair of Innovation and Medical Director, Electrophysiology Laboratory.
“We are very pleased to expand our relationship with the outstanding physician team at Mayo Clinic. Their commitment to improving patient care resonates deeply with our Company’s mission to bring innovative technological solutions to medicine, and we are looking forward to this next chapter in our collaboration. The new product that we intend to develop under the latest licensing will seek to significantly advance the current arrhythmia treatments.
