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.[2][3][4][5]
Prevalence
- The prevalence of stress cardiomyopathy is unknown.
Demographics
Age
Stress cardiomyopathy occurs mostly in older people, mostly in post-menopausal women.[2][6][7] The mean age of diagnosis ranges between 58 to 75 years old, with less than 3% of patients being younger than 50 years old at presentation.[2]
Gender
Stress cardiomyopathy is much more common in women.[1][2][6][7]
