Overview
Epidemiology
The exact incidence is unknown, but it is estimated that apical ballooning syndrome may account for 1-2% of patients who present with an acute myocardial infarction. The cardiomyopathy appears to occur almost exclusively in post-menopausal women, although a few cases have been reported in younger women and males.[1] In one of the largest series of 256 patients, [2] post-menopausal women made up 81% of enrolled patients, while 8% were younger women, and 11% were men.
Incidence
- The true incidence of stress cardiomyopathy 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.[3]
Prevalence
Demographics
Age
Stress cardiomyopathy occurs mostly in older people, mostly in post-menopausal women.[4]
Gender
Stress cardiomyopathy is much more common in women.[3][4]
