When science found out about broken hearts

However,the good news is: the condition is reversible. If you’re broken-hearted,normal function will resume within a few weeks.

According to the Journal,the condition is “typically triggered by acute emotion or physical trauma that releases a surge of adrenaline that overwhelms the heart. The effect is to freeze much of the left ventricle,the heart”s main pumping chamber,disrupting its ability to contract and effectively pump blood.”

The medical term for “broken heart syndrome” is takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
