Dextrocardia is believed to occur in approximately 1 in a 100 people, while 1 in 1,000 of these will have [[Situs Inversus]]. The most recent statistics place the incidence of stitus inversus to be 1:2500 to 1:20,000. It is significantly less common to have dextrocardia with situs solitus.
[[Kartagener’s syndrome]] occurs in approximately 1 in 15-25 of patients with Totalis (situs inversus with dextrocardia). Kartagener Syndrome (KS), is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by a defect in the action of the tiny hairs (cilia) lining the respiratory tract. Specifically, it is a defect in a gene coding for left-right dynein (lrd), a key structural protein in cilia.<ref>Cleveland JC Jr, Shroyer AL, Chen AY, et al: Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting decreases risk-adjusted mortality and morbidity.

Overview

Dextrocardia is categorized as a fairly rare disease. The reported likelihood of occurrence is roughly 1 in 100 births with approximately 1 in 1,000 of these cases to have dextrocardia and situs inversus.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • The incidence of dextrocardia is approximately 1 in 12,000 pregnancies.[1]

Prevalence

  • In [year], the incidence/prevalence of [disease name] was estimated to be [number range] cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
  • The prevalence of [disease/malignancy] is estimated to be [number] cases annually.

Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate

  • In [year], the incidence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals with a case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [number range]%.
  • 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.
  • [Disease name] commonly affects individuals younger than/older than [number of years] years of age.
