Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence/prevalence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
Prevalence
- About 3% of patients with a small VSD (≤1.5 cm) and 50% of patients with a large VSD (>1.5 cm) develop Eisenmenger's syndrome.[1]
- However, the prevalence is currently decreasing due to improved detection methods of congenital heart defects.
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- The case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [disease name] is approximately [number range].
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop [disease name].
- The incidence of [disease name] increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is [#] years.
Race
- There is no racial predilection to Eisenmenger's syndrome.
Gender
- Eisenmenger's syndrome affects men and women equally.
Developed Countries
The prevalence of Eisenmenger's syndrome is less common in developed countries due to better healthcare access.
Developing Countries
The prevalence of Eisenmenger's syndrome is more common in developing countries due to poor healthcare access.
