death from a broken heart?

death from a broken heartIt is often believed that death from a broken heart is no more than just the kind of occurrence we read about in books or see in movies with a tragic love story. So far, people said that no one could actually die from a broken heart, but the latest research comes to prove that wrong: too much pain and grief, as well as a very powerful emotional shock can lead to heart attack-like symptoms that may often result in death.

Research says that broken heart symptom is real and goes by the medical name of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, as Japanese doctors first named it when they initially studied it in the ‘90s. It implies heart attack-like symptoms, including chest pains and shortness of breath, which can be triggered by an emotional shock, such as the one following news of an accident, illness in the family or a very violent argument. Expert believe that because of the release of a high amount of stress hormones, such as adrenaline, a part of the heart can be weakened and become “stunned”.

Even if researchers are still not able to pinpoint the exact causes, or mechanisms of the broken heart symptom, they are positive they’re one step closer to doing so, while also showing that it does, indeed, exist. Some believe it is simply a form of a heart attack that aborts itself early and therefore doesn’t leave any permanent heart muscle damage. At the same time, he believes further studies will prove it’s the latter option.
