People in many legends and fictional tales die after suffering a devastating loss. But even in reality people die from a broken heart!
‘Heartbreak’ usually doesn’t mean a physical defect in the heart. But there is a condition known as ‘Broken Heart Syndrome’ or Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, where a traumatizing event results in the brain to distribute chemicals that weaken heart tissue. As a result, the bottom of the heart starts bulging out into the shape of a pot. A broken heart hurts in the same way as pangs of intense physical pain. A sudden emotional stress because of the death of a loved one or a traumatic breakup can accentuate the condition.
But it is substantially different from a heart-attack. People suffering from Broken Heart Syndrome usually recover within two weeks, which is a lot faster compared to people suffering from heart attacks.
