Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death and disability in women, and in women between the ages of 45 to 64, one in nine women develops symptoms of some form of cardiovascular disease.
After age of 65, the ratio climbs to one in three women, according to the National Center for Health Statistics and the mortality from Heart disease is seven times higher than breast cancer in females.
There are significant differences between men and women in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease that should be taken into account.
But one of the cardiac diseases is unique in that because 80-100% of patients are women and this disease is recognised as Broken Heart Syndrome.
Broken heart syndrome is usually temporary but sometimes lethal heart condition that’s often brought on by stressful situations, such as the death of a loved one. People with broken heart syndrome may have sudden chest pain same as heart attack. In broken heart syndrome, we have temporary disruption of your heart’s normal pumping function in one area of the heart , but new research suggests the muscle of the heart actually suffers long-term damage.
The incidence of stress cardiomyopathy among individuals exposed to physical or emotional stress is not known, but it seems that this phenomenon is not uncommon in a medical intensive care unit population.
Broken heart syndrome is often preceded by an intense emotional and physical event. Some potential triggers of broken heart syndrome are, news of an unexpected death, divorce, a frightening medical diagnosis, domestic abuse, losing — or even winning — a lot of money, strong arguments, a
surprise party, having to
perform publicly, job loss.
