The heart attack diagnostic market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In the past few years, there has been a robust growth in the market size of heart attack diagnostics. The market is expected to expand from $10.78 billion in 2024 to $11.62 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. Factors contributing to the growth during the historic period include the advancement in cardiac biomarkers, the advent of ECG and imaging technology, standardization of diagnostic procedures, initiatives that raise awareness and educate, and enhancements in troponin testing.
The Heart Attack Diagnostic market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for diagnosing heart attacks is predicted to witness robust expansion in the forthcoming years, increasing to $16.49 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%.
The projected growth for the stipulated period is due to factors such as patient involvement and engagement, use of data analytics and precision medicine, initiatives for preventive healthcare, development of healthcare infrastructure, and personalized diagnostic methods. Some of the key trends anticipated during this forecast period are testing at the point-of-care, high-sensitivity troponin tests, non-invasive imaging procedures, customized medicine, and devices for remote monitoring.
The increasing occurrence of heart-related diseases is catalyzing the expansion of the market for heart attack diagnostics. Cardiovascular disorders, made up of various ailments related to heart and blood vessels, are being intensified by unhealthy eating habits, lack of physical activity, tobacco consumption, and alcohol abuse, all of which contribute to heart diseases and strokes. Diagnosing heart attacks is an essential process that determines the severity and cause of heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure. For example, data released from the UK's Office for Health Improvement and Disparities in March 2024 showed that in 2023, over 1,862,500 people (3%) in England had been diagnosed with coronary heart disease (CHD) by a General Practitioner. Therefore, as incidents of cardiovascular diseases continue to rise, so will the growth of the heart attack diagnostics market.

The emergence of innovative diagnostic methods for heart disease is a prominent trend in the heart diagnostic market. Key industry players are pioneering new technologies such as artificial intelligence to diagnose heart disease. Artificial intelligence, which mimics human thinking in machines designed to behave like humans, is used to enhance diagnostic radiography skills, diagnose heart issues, and expedite stroke treatments. For instance, in February 2022, Physician-scientists from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai, a nonprofit academic healthcare institution, created an AI-based technique to detect difficult-to-diagnose heart conditions. The AI system is able to recognise disease patterns that are undetectable to the human eye, and uses these patterns to predict accurate diagnoses. Conditions such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and cardiac amyloidosis, both potentially lethal, are effectively identified and differentiated by artificial intelligence technology.
