Scientists have said it isn't just sad things that make us brokenhearted. Happy events can also be bad for our heart. A broken heart is an actual medical condition. It is not just the sadness we feel when someone we love does not return that love. We get broken heart syndrome when we are highly stressed. We also get it during emotional times, such as a relationship breakup, the death of family and friends, or the loss of a job. The medical name for this is Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS). Researchers say people can get TTS, and even be at risk of sudden death, when very happy things happen. The doctors who discovered this have called it "happy heart syndrome".The researchers' study was published in the European Heart Journal on Thursday. Heart experts Dr Christian Templin and Dr Jelena Ghadri analysed data from 1,750 patients who suffered from Takotsubo Syndrome. The sufferers were from nine different countries. They found 485 patients got TTS because of an emotional happening. Twenty of these had TTS because of a happy or joyful event. The patients had heart problems after events like a birthday party, a wedding, a favourite sports team winning a game, and the birth of a grandchild. Dr Ghadri said our body and brain may think happy and sad events are similar, so both can result in Takotsubo Syndrome.

I think the happy heart syndrome can become a problem if it contains an excess of happiness, because everything in excess is bad, and happiness too much can also cause major impacts that can be bad

Really? We shouldn't worry about happy heart syndrome because It`s very strange. This syndrome must isn´t frequent. But I think it`s a invention of the English´s teacher ;)
ReplyDeleteI think that we shouldn't worry about this "illness" because everyone have emotional problems once in their lives, and to overcome them, is what makes us strong. I'm not saying that when pur heart gets broken because of anything, we are going to have a good time, but when we effort to leave from there, we learn lots of lessons that will shape our personality.
ReplyDeleteI think the Tsubo Syndrome is serious although we can not kill. Only We could kill, if we have a previous heart problem.

In my opinion, we should not worry about this syndrome becouse this theory holds the relationship between feelings and physical effects on the heart and I do not believe in those effects that causes.
