Broken Heart is not just a saying

Tweet

Researchers at Johns Hopkins have now determined that immediate stress on the emotion can result in a weakness in the heart that mimics a heart attack. The condition is known as stress cardiomyopathy and it is often misdiagnosed as a heart attack; while instead, sometimes it's really a long surge in adrenaline and other stress hormones that can make the heart feel 'stunned'. For more information, you can go to hopkinsmedicinedotorg and do a search within their site, as I do not want to leave a link on this post for fear of it being erased. Though I thought that it was interesting to share. I even saw a picture of a 'broken heart' once, and it certainly looked different than a 'normal' heart. There was a small 'connector' of some sort that had actually seemed to have broken. Say goodbye to the old cliche, and hello to a real medical problem/discomfort.
