Men are twice as likely to die of a broken heart.
According to a new study in The Journal of the American Heart Association, men are twice as likely as women to die of takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as โbroken heart syndrome.โ
This condition is thought to be brought on by stress, including the stress of losing a loved one (hence the nickname).
Although the syndrome is more common in women than men, men more often die from it.
Why It Matters: Clinicians have long known that older women disproportionately suffer takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
Whatโs less well appreciated is that, when men do get it, their mortality risk is much higher.
Worryingly, there was no significant improvement in outcomes over the five-year period covered by the study.
This highlights the need for greater awareness, earlier detection, and improved treatment strategies.โ โ @SteveStuWill
