Men die more often when their hearts crush

Not only has a shattered heart that has a spiritual side, but also can have serious health consequences. There are also scientific evidence that the broken heart can be fatal. According to a recent study, although this phenomenon is more common in women, men die more easily, and much higher.

• A broken heart can be a serious health risk that can be scientifically supported

• According to a recent research, it has a more severe effect on men

• Researchers at the University of Arizona conducted a study based on 199,890 patients

No joke for the broken heart! In technical language, takotsubo-cardiomyopathy (TC) means the weakening of the heart of physical or emotional stress, which can lead to serious problems and even to death. A recent research has been done at the University of Arizona. The study examined a total of 199,890 American patients between 2016 and 2020.

The research revealed several interesting data. For example, during the period under review, TC increased the occurrence of both men and women, and it has also been revealed that this type of disease is generally higher in women. But, surprisingly, men are more dangerous to men, and not slightly.

According to the study, men were more than twice more likely to be death: 11.2 percent of men died and 5.5 percent of women. The total mortality rate was 6.5 percent.

« We were surprised to find that the mortality rate of Takotsubo-cardiomyopathy was relatively high, without significant changes in the five-year study, and the proportion of hospital complications increased »- says M. Reza Movahed, an intervention cardiologist at the University of Arizona.

What can cause the physical signs of the heartfrequence?

According to the researchers, TC is presumably triggered by a surge of stress hormones caused by physical or emotional stress. Physical stress can be, for example, surgery or infection, and emotional stress can be caused by a break, a divorce, or the death of our loved one. According to research, physical stress is more common in men, which may explain why the number of deaths is higher. According to the researchers, genders may also play a role in this.

What are your complications?

TC complications included congestive heart failure (35.9 percent of patients), atrial fibrillation (20.7 percent), cardiogenic shock (6.6 percent), stroke (5.3 percent) and cardiac arrest (3.4 percent). But since these symptoms are very similar to the heart attack, they often qualify as it is Sciencealert.

Researchers behind the new study hope that their work will get more attention to this health problem and will be more diagnosed and more efficient.

« Some complications, such as embarrassed stroke, can be prevented by early onset of anticoagulant drugs in patients with significantly weakened myocardial or stroke risk, called atrial fibrillation, irregular heart rhythm » – says Movahed.

There are still many unanswered questions on this topic, so researchers are calling for further research. But it is clear that even if not all TC cases are caused by the breakup, the loss of our love is very mentally and physically, and most of the stress goes to the heart.
