Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is common, affecting between 1.2% and 2.2% of people in Japan and 2% to 3% in Western countries who suffer a<unk>  infarction. It also affects far more women than men with 90% of cases being women, most postmenopausal. Scientists believe one reason is that estrogen causes the release of catecholamine and glucocorticoid in response to mental stress. It is not likely for the same recovered patient to experience the syndrome twice, although it has happened in rare cases. The average ages at onset are between 58 and 75 years. Less than 3% of cases occurred in patients under age 50.
