Epidemiology and Demographics
Age and Gender
- Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) usually occurs in individuals older than 50 years old. [1]
- The incidence of SSS increases with increasing age, occurring in 1 of every 600 cardiac patients above the age of 65.
- There is no difference in incidence of SSS between men and women. [2]
- In addition, the black population was found to have a 41% lower risk of developing SSS as compared to the white population. [3]
