Broken heart Syndrome
Do lovers
develop a disease called broken heart syndrome?
Broken heart syndrome is another name for a type of heart disease known as takotsubo
cardiomyopathy. This heart condition manifests in a similar way as a heart
attack (myocardial infarction): the affected person experiences a sudden chest
pain and difficulty with breathing; some people can also vomit, have
palpitations (feel their heart beating very fast) or temporarily lose
consciousness (something called syncope). Broken heart syndrome usually occurs
after a person has been severely stressed physically or emotionally.
Emotionally stressful situations that have been linked to the broken heart
syndrome in affected individuals include a very bad news about their finances
(maybe they lost their lifesaving in an investment); death of someone they
loved so much. And what else can cause a severe emotional stress? A break up of
that wonderful, blissful relationship or any other disappointments on
Valentine's Day could cause severe emotional distress which may result in
takotsubo cardiomyopathy (broken heart syndrome).
Broken heart syndrome is initially treated as an emergency same way as a heart
attack (myocardial infarction) because of the similar symptoms which make it
difficult to differentiate the two at the onset. However, once the patient is
stable, some important investigations are carried to rule out an actual heart
attack. After this, the patient is placed on bed rest, monitored and given
supportive treatment (like adequate fluids, periodic monitoring of their blood
pressure and pulse, and so on). And the good thing is most people (over 90%)
that develop broken heart syndrome recover completely within 2 months.
Another good thing is this broken heart syndrome (takotsubo
cardiomyopathy) is very rare in this part of the world: it occurs mainly in
Asians and whites (people in the western world). In addition, it occurs mostly
in women who have passed through the stage of menopause. So, don't be scared.
Your chances of developing this takotsubo cardiomyopathy (broken heart
syndrome) from a breakup or a disappointment today (Valentine's Day) is very
very low; in fact, it may not happen.
However, don't invest all your emotions on expecting a very
special romantic treatment today. There are other health consequences of being
emotionally disappointed: you can become depressed for days; if you don't hold
yourself together, it could lead to a mental health issue such as a mood
disorder. If you have a family history (it runs in the family) of hypertension
or a heart disease and you let the disappointment that may happen today get a
better hold of you, it could easily trigger hypertension or heart disease in
you because of your genetic predisposition.
Being healthy is being physically, socially and mentally well
at the same time. Happy Valentine's Day; but you should know that showing and
receiving love should be done every day not just on a particular day.
