Mend a Broken Heart, literally 0
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – For people who suffer from so-called “broken heart syndrome,” the long-term outlook is excellent and nearly all patients have full recovery of heart function, doctors from Rhode Island report.
Broken heart syndrome was first described by Japanese researchers in the early 1990s. Symptoms typically mimic a heart attack and tend to occur soon after an intense physical or emotional event. Experts think these symptoms may be brought on by the heart’s reaction to a surge of stress hormones, like adrenaline, causing a part of the heart to temporarily weaken or become stunned.
However, based on the experience of Dr. Richard Regnante from Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Providence and colleagues, it appears that broken heart syndrome is temporary and completely reversible.
