ReportsnReports – Epidemiology: Acute Coronary Syndrome – Now affecting primarily the oldest populations


Epidemiology: Acute Coronary Syndrome - Now affecting primarily the oldest populations 

        
ReportsnReports.com adds DataMoniter Market Research Report “Epidemiology: Acute Coronary Syndrome - Now affecting primarily the oldest populations ’’ to its store.
Acute coronary syndrome is made up of three subtypes: STEMI, NSTEMI, and UA. With the exception of Japan, ACS occurs at similar rates in the seven major markets. Datamonitor estimates that there were 1.2 million incident cases of MI in the seven major markets in 2010 and will be 1.5 million by 2020, and that there were over 1.7 million incident cases of ACS in 2010 and will be 2 million by 2020.

Features and benefits
  • Gain insight into market potential, including a robust 10-year forecast of acute coronary syndrome incident cases.
  • Understand the key epidemiologic risk factors assocaited with acute coronary syndrome.
Highlights

The incidence of MI is clearly associated with increasing age. In 2010, the estimated number of incident cases of MI increased from approximately 167,770 in those aged less than 50 years to about 356,000 in those age 80 years or more.

On average, there are 1.8 cases of incident MI in men for every one case in women. The exception to this is pattern is Italy where there are only 1.1 cases of incident MI in men for every one case of incident MI in women.

Datamonitor estimates that in the US and the five major EU markets, 36% of cases of ACS are STEMI, 34% are NSTEMI, and 30% are UA. In Japan, Datamonitor estimates that 51% of cases of ACS are STEMI, 10% are NSTEMI, and 39% are UA.

Your key questions answered
  • What are the most robust sources for acute coronary syndrome incidence data?
  • How will the patient population change over the next decade in the US, Japan, and five major EU markets (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK)?
  • How do changes in population structure and risk factors affect the trends surrounding incident acute coronary syndrome cases?

DRIVERS OF ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME EPIDEMIOLOGY
Risk factors are well known and consistent
Smoking, even passively, is highly associated with heart disease
High blood lipid levels persistently increase the risk of acute coronary syndrome
Obesity is a steadily increasing risk factor for acute coronary syndrome
Diabetics are at increased risk for acute coronary syndrome and poorer outcomes
The mode of family history as a risk factor is unknown
Age at first myocardial infarction is increasing
