Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
TS is the least common valvular disease. The prevalence of TS in developed countries is low due to the low prevalence of rheumatic heart disease, the most common cause of TS.
The prevalence of TS is higher in developing countries due tot the higher prevalence of rheumatic heart disease.
Mortality/Morbidity
- Mortality is dependent upon the precipitating cause
- Mortality rate is 5%
Race
There does not seem to be any racial predisposition
Sex
- Observed more in women
- Congenital form is slightly more prevalent in men
Age
- Congenital form accounts for 0.3% of all congenital heart diseases
- Due to secondary causes, in the older population, frequency is between 0.3 - 3.2%
