Electrophysiology Diagnostic and Intervention Market: Alive and Growing

March 10, 2015by: Tom Watson, BS, RCVT

Historically, the Electrophysiological (EP) 3D Mapping market has been dominated by two major vendors – Biosense-Webster and St. Jude Medical. These two vendors have gone head to head for several years, jockeying for the favor of the Intervention EP Physician. Initially, Biosense-Webster’s CARTO 3 Image system held a commanding lead in this emerging market a number of years ago. However, since St. Jude acquired the EnSite system from Endocardial Solutions in 2008, along with their EP recording system, St. Jude has been a strong competitor.

While Biosense-Webster remains focused on the mapping market and does not offer a recording solution, St. Jude currently offers a recording and mapping solution together.EP Mapping Market
