Thanks for sharing this. I truly believe that stress and sadness play a big role in heart health.
My Grandma in Iowa, who was cruising along just fine and dandy - living in her own home, no major health problems, mind clear as a bell - at 94 watched her first-borne daughter die of breast cancer and then a few months after her daughter died, found out her only son had inoperable esophageal cancer and was going to die - Grandma died a year after my Mom from congestive heart failure and only seven months before her son died. Up until that point, we "knew" that Grandma would make it to 100 easily.
She literally died of a broken heart.

I am printing this one to share with my sister, Nancy, who has come home to bring my brother's remains. Both of us have been under tremendous stress for a long time. When Richard was gravely stricken and near death in Feb, I, too, ended up in the hospital because of my 'broken' heart - Nancy called early this week and said "I need to be with family" so she flew in the next day from Texas. Richard's funeral is Saturday. Many family members will be with us and perhaps the healing will begin and our broken hearts mended. Thanks for this article.

Shhhhh, don't tell my heart about these things. It has enough to do deal with without thinking it has that too!

I read this article yesterday and last night on ER they had a patient die and the diagnosis was a broken heart. Makes some sense!
hi,
i was just about to say the same thing.. i watch ER and saw that episode as well, where they featured a patient with "broken heart syndrome" who collapsed when she heard that her husband had died in surgery.
thanks for that interesting article!
