The exact incidence of<unk>  is unknown since many cases are not associated with any symptoms. However, in series of routine autopsies, 1–9% of all patients had evidence of myocardial inflammation. The prevalence rate of<unk>  is estimated to be about 22 cases per 100,000 persons annually. Fulminant<unk> , the most severe subtype, has been shown to occur in up to 2.5% of known<unk>  presentations. When looking at different causes of<unk> , viral infection is the most prevalent, especially in children; however, the prevalence rate of<unk>  is often underestimated since the condition is easily overlooked. Viral<unk>  being an outcome of viral infection depends heavily on genetic host factors and the pathogenicity unique to the virus. If one tests positive for an acute viral infection, clinical developments have discovered that 1-5% of said population may show some form of<unk> . One notable instance of viral<unk>  is the involvement of the SARS-CoV-2 virus;<unk>  from SARS-CoV-2 is associated with a spectrum of severities from asymptomatic to fulminant, and is a complication in approximately 2-7% of COVID-19 cases. In regard to the population affected,<unk>  is more common in pregnant women, children, and those who are immunocompromised.<unk> , however, has shown to be more common in the male population than in the female. Multiple studies report a 1:1.3-1.7 female-male ratio of prevalence of<unk> . In young adults, up to 20% of all cases of sudden death are due to<unk> . Young males specifically have a higher incidence rate than any other population due to their testosterone levels creating a greater inflammatory response that increases the chance of cardiac pathologies. While males tend to have a higher risk of developing<unk> , females tend to display more severe signs and symptoms, such as ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, but do so at an older age. Among patients with HIV,<unk>  is the most common cardiac pathological finding at autopsy, with a prevalence of 50% or more.<unk>  is the third most common cause of death among young adults with a cumulative incidence rate globally of 1.5 cases per 100,000 persons annually.<unk>  accounts for approximately 20% of sudden cardiac death in a variety of populations, including adults under the age of 40, young athletes, United States Air Force recruits, and elite Swedish orienteers. With individuals who develop (fulminant?)<unk> , the first year is difficult as a collection of cases have shown there is a 20% mortality rate.
