A new study has found a significant increase in 'broken heart syndrome' at two Ohio hospitals among some patients who don't have coronavirus, suggesting that the physical, social and economic stressors from the pandemic are taking a physical toll
A study published Thursday found a significant increase in"broken heart syndrome" at two Ohio hospitals among some patients who don't have coronavirus, suggesting that the physical, social and economic stressors from the pandemic are taking a physical toll.
Stress-induced cardiomyopathy or Takotsubo syndrome -- which is often called"broken heart syndrome" -- occurs when the heart muscles weaken, leading to chest pain and shortness of breath. It presents like a heart attack, but is triggered by stressful events, not blockages in the bloodstream. It can be deadly in rare cases, but patients usually recover within days or weeks.
One expert on broken heart syndrome, formally known as Takotsubo syndrome, raised questions about the new study's methodology and pointed out opportunities for potential bias. "They might be completely right. I don't object to the hypothesis. I object to the statistical methods," said Dr. John Horowitz, an emeritus cardiology professor at the University of Adelaide in Australia, who has published more than 20 peer-reviewed papers on Takotsubo.
