Study finds that mortality rate due to Broken Heart Syndrome is 5.5% in women and 11.2% in men

(Web Desk): Women experience heartbreak or emotional setbacks in love almost twice as often as men. However, medical experts believe that after a failed romantic relationship, men are twice as likely to face death.
Broken Heart Syndrome, formally known as Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, mimics symptoms similar to a heart attack. Although most people recover quickly without lasting damage, in some cases, it can cause severe, short-term heart muscle failure and even death in a small percentage of individuals.
According to medical experts, this condition can intensify during times of extreme physical or emotional stress, such as the death of a loved one. This emotional or physical stress can lead to symptoms like heart attack, chest pain, and difficulty breathing.
A recent study revealed that while this condition is more commonly seen in women, the likelihood of death from Broken Heart Syndrome is more than twice as high in men—making it potentially deadlier for them.
Using data from an international hospital database, researchers identified nearly 200,000 cases of Broken Heart Syndrome or cardiomyopathy between 2016 and 2020. Analysis showed that approximately 5 out of every 6 cases were women, yet the death rate among men was more than double.
According to medical experts, the study found that the mortality rate due to Broken Heart Syndrome was 5.5% in women and 11.2% in men.
Dr. Khindelwal, a cardiologist from California, noted: "We’ve always thought of this as a woman’s disease, but perhaps we never really investigated how deadly it can be for men."
