Overview
Epidemiology
Incidence
- The true incidence of stress cardiomyopathy is unknown and is thought to be underestimated, because there is a number of subclinical and milder forms of the disease, which do not come to clinical attention.[1] However, approximately 1-2% of patients thought to have acute coronary syndrome or myocardial infarction at initial presentation eventually receive the diagnosis of stress cardiomyopathy instead.
Prevalence
Demographics
Age
Stress cardiomyopathy occurs mostly in older people, mostly in post-menopausal women.[2]
Gender
Stress cardiomyopathy is much more common in women.[1][2]
