BROKEN HEART IS - REAL-SHOWS STUDY




A  broken  heart  can   feel   very  real  for  those  experiencing  the  loss   of  a  loved  ones .But  for  some  ,  the  emotional  stress  does  quite  literally  break   their  hearts ,at  least  temporarily-causing  symptoms  that  can  mimic a  heart  attack .  Broken   heart  syndrome  is   one  of  the  many  names   for  takotsubo cardiomyopathy,  a  rare  and  temporary  condition    where  part  of  a  person's   heart  suddenly  becomes  weakened  or  'stunned' -forcing  the  rest  of  the  heart  to work  harder .
 When  this  happens  the  person's    left  ventricle changes shape , developing  a  narrow  neck   and  round  bottom .
 The  shape  created  by  this bulging  out   earned  the  syndrome  the  name 'takotsubo',  meaning  octopus   in  Japan  where the  condition   was  first  reported.
 The  condition is  also referred  to  acute  stress cardiomyopathy  and  apical  ballooning   syndrome.
 Causes  -There  are  various  theories  as  to  what  cause  the  condition.About  three  quarters  of  those  diagnosed  with   Takotsubo  cardiomyopathy   have  experienced  severe emotional or  physical  stress prior  to  becoming  unwell,  such  as  bereavement .
 British  Heart  Foundation (BHF)  says   that  evidence   suggest   the  sudden  ,excessive  release  of  hormones-usually  -during  these  stressful periods  causes  the  'stunning'  of  part  of  the  heart  muscles.
 Interestingly, research  conducted  by Imperial  College  of  London  in  2012  found   the  condition  may   actually  protect  the  heart  from very  high  level  of  adrenaline .
 Professor   Sian  Harding  ,  from  the  national  heart  and  lung  institute (NHLI) at  imperial  college  London, who  led  the  study , explained :"In   patients  with  Takotsubo  cardiomyopathy, adrenaline  works  in  a  different  way  and  shuts  down  the  heart  instead .This  seems  to  protect  the  heart  from being overstimulated." 
 People  experiencing   Takotsubo cardiomyopathy  will  often  have   chest  pains   and  breathlessness  similar  to  those   seen in heart attack, according  to  the  British   Heart  Foundation.
 However  the  survival  rate  for those  are  discharged   from the   hospital after  suffering  from  the  condition  is  nearly   100 %Amy  Thompson, senior  cardiac  nurse  at  the  B HF , said :"Its   symptoms  can  mimic  a  heart  attack ,  but  it  causes  no permanent  damage   to  the heart -it   is  both  temporary   and  reversible."
 The  BHF  estimates  that   Takotsuba cardiomyopathy affects 2,500 people  in  the  UK alone  each year.Between  one  and  two  percent   of  people  who  are  initially  believed  to  have  had  a  heart attack  are found  to  have  experienced  the  syndrome  at  a  later  date, according  to   imperial  college.
 Some  studies  suggest   that  the  syndrome  affects    women  more than  men .
