Data regarding the epidemiology of angioedema is limited. The incidence of HAE is one in 10,000-50,000 people in the United States and Canada. Mortality rates are estimated at 15-33%, resulting primarily from laryngeal edema and asphyxiation. HAE leads to 15,000-30,000 emergency department visits per year.
