“2 heart attacks caused by ‘broken heart syndrome’”
Must be liberals made that up, because it means we don’t really know wtf causes this.
Ridiculous!
Was she jabbed?
Stress cardiomyopathy (also called apical ballooning syndrome, takotsubo cardiomyopathy, broken heart syndrome, and stress-induced cardiomyopathy) is a syndrome characterized by transient regional systolic dysfunction, principally, of the left ventricle, mimicking myocardial infarction, but in the absence of angiographic evidence of obstructive coronary artery disease or acute plaque rupture.
It is a thing, but I have no idea if that’s what the GD has or not.
Ahhh — more certain statements that are demonstrably false from the faux expert on all things —
So here is a little free educations for you — broken heart syndrome is also called Takosubo’s cardiomyopathy — it is a generally severe but reversible cardiomyopathy related to intense emotional or physical stress. It has specific echocardiographic findings of apical ballooning — in other words — it is a real, well described pathological process that we have learned a lot about over the last 15 years or so.
So, you might actually want to look something up before opining. In the great immortal words “Better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove al doubt”
Thanks again for removing our doubt about your opinion.
BHS is real
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (Broken Heart Syndrome) is well understood in it mechanism. The heart ventricles get into uneven operation and partial enlargement due to stress enzyme reactions. This causes myopathy and ineffective blood movement which in turn stresses the blood supply to the heart and other vital organs.
Often there is no blockage involved and it works like temporary or partial congestive heart failure. If caught and treated many times there is no heart muscle damage. The heart performance is monitored for “ejection fraction” performance returning to normal levels and each case is evaluated from there.
It was somewhat a mystery thirty years ago, but it is well understood now.
Make it three. There was a case in our local obituary.
Son-in-law’s step mom had this, after the dad had a massive heart attack, died and was revived in the ER then sent to area trauma center. It was an awful experience for anyone to go thru
