Overview
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is a rare disorder with the prevalence estimated to be 1 per 10,000 individuals. CPVT is more common among young individuals.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- The prevalence of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is estimated to be 1 per 10,000 individuals. Although the true prevalence is unknown.[1]
Age
- Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia onset is more commonly observed during childhood and adolescence with the mean age of onset of symptoms between age 7 and 12 years.[2][3][4]
- CPVT has also been reported in adults with onset as late as the fourth decade.[5]
Gender
- CPVT affects males and females equally;[6] although males are more likely to present at an earlier age (in childhood or adolescence), while females are more likely to present at an older age (20 years, mean).[2]
Race
- There is no racial predilection for CPVT.
