"Immediately Move On, Broken Heart Can Lead to Death"

According to scientific research, a broken heart can cause death. It is mostly experienced by women.

Dream - The impact of a broken heart on a person's physical well-being can last for months. Previously, many people believed that the human body would only be "down" for one or two days after a broken heart. According to scientists from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, the effects of "broken heart syndrome" can last for four months. And now, these scientists are currently studying the long-term effects of this broken heart condition. This research is led by Professor Dana Dawson, a senior lecturer in cardiovascular medicine and a consultant cardiologist at the Royal Aberdeen Hospital.

"\u201cWhile initially considered self-limiting, we were surprised to see that later, patients still lacked energy or were unable to return to work,\u201d Dawson, quoted from the BBC website."

The following is the translation of the 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "These scientists are convinced that currently the impact of this broken heart syndrome is undiagnosed. Because most doctors do not consider the possibility of the impact of a broken heart on someone's physical health. Acute cardiomyopathy - commonly known as 'broken heart syndrome' - can be triggered by divorce, loss, and accidents. These problems can cause a heart attack without experiencing blockage in the arteries. These scientists will call a number of patients to uncover what actually happens to someone with a broken heart."

The researchers hope to thoroughly examine the extent to which the hearts of the samples have recovered. "Have they ever fully recovered? Are they still at an intermittent level of recovery, explaining why they cannot do what they used to do before? Or is it a psychological issue?"

Treatment

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, is the medical term for broken heart syndrome. This condition occurs when one of the heart chambers, the left ventricle, suddenly expands and weakens. Broken heart syndrome, experienced by some individuals in response to emotional trauma, occurs when one of the heart chambers, the left ventricle, suddenly expands and weakens. This change prevents the heart from pumping blood effectively throughout the body, thus increasing the risk of heart failure.

According to research, as reported by The Herald, there are 5,000 people in the UK who experience this condition every year, mostly women. Although the majority of patients recover, this broken heart syndrome causes at least seven percent of all heart attack cases. In some cases, although rare, it can lead to death. In mid-2022, scientists at the University of Aberdeen intend to recruit 100 Scottish people for the first treatment trial. The research is planned to be conducted for three years.

The researchers offer training programs and psychological therapy for those affected by a broken heart syndrome. The researchers received financial assistance of 300 thousand pounds from the British Heart Foundation (BHF) for this research.

Dr David Gamble, from the University of Aberdeen, said Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy is a condition that is relatively poorly understood. "It is very important for us to develop a high-quality evidence base to guide doctors in managing this condition," he said. In many clinical intervention trials, he said, medical personnel try to make gradual improvements to existing treatments. "But, because broken heart syndrome is in its early stages, there is no established treatment to use as a basis," added David Gamble.
