“Heartbreak syndrome” refers to the symptoms of heart disease such as chest pain, breathlessness and shortness of breath that occur when a person experiences a major external event that causes extreme grief or anger. It does not mean that the heart will really “break”, the patient’s heart usually does not have obvious organic lesions, just that the pain feels like a real broken heart. But if the “heartbreak” symptoms continue to not ease, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible, continued vascular spasm may cause sudden cardiac arrest death! This is typical of stress cardiomyopathy, a transient cardiac syndrome that includes a lack of motion at the left ventricular (LV) apex and increased basal contraction similar to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Stress cardiomyopathy manifests mainly as chest tightness and panic, with severe chest pain and even myocardial infarction. Normally, it does not cause disease. However, when a person experiences a major emotional shock, the sympathetic nerves secrete large amounts of cardiac adrenaline and dopamine, causing weakness of the heart’s ventricular contraction and apical spherical changes, when the heart’s beating ability suddenly decreases, causing symptoms similar to a heart attack such as severe chest pain or difficulty breathing. In this case, the heart’s ability to beat suddenly decreases, causing symptoms such as severe chest pain or shortness of breath that resemble a heart attack. Once the heart breaks down, we can see characteristic changes in the heart’s morphology with the aid of echocardiography, left ventriculography and cardiac MRI. Patients with heartbreak syndrome generally do not have significant organic pathology and recover completely in 2 to 4 weeks as time passes and mental and emotional peace is achieved. However, if the “broken heart” is left unattended, vascular spasms can cause cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest, resulting in sudden death. The people who are prone to it – type A personality is prone to “heartbreak syndrome” The occurrence of “heartbreak syndrome” is related to the personality of the person, which is a complex psychological factor. Previously, American scholars were the first to classify people’s personalities into Type A and Type B. Type A personality is characterized by impatience, impulsiveness, lack of patience, a strong sense of time urgency, and competitiveness; Type B personality is calm, patient and tolerant, not competitive, and will arrange work and rest. Therefore, type A personalities are more likely to suffer from “heartbreak syndrome” than type B personalities. Stress cardiomyopathy is most often seen in middle-aged women, between the ages of 30 and 50. It is a clinical symptom that occurs when the psychological balance is not well balanced due to external stimuli or the stimulation of one’s own illness. Japanese scholars have analyzed and found that after excluding high blood pressure, smoking and other factors affecting heart health, some studies have shown that the average incidence of this disease in women is 7.5 times higher than in men, with the incidence in women under 55 years old being 9.5 times higher than in men of the same age, and the incidence in women over 55 years old being three times higher than in younger women. Therefore, some experts believe that hormonal differences between men and women and changes in coronary arteries may be causative factors. In fact, there are many other odd diseases in the world that you do not know! 1. Jerusalem syndrome. People who suffer from this disorder will experience intense thought disturbances, delusions or other psychotic-like experiences on a number of religious themes, and may also experience compulsive cleansing or makeup, wearing white robes or didactic behavior. Dr. Kristin Montrose, professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University, says, “In five to seven days, the patient will be completely cured.” 2. Walking Dead Syndrome. Formally known as Cotard’s syndrome, patients believe they are dead or have lost a significant part of their body, but they are still conscious and alive. Dr. Montrose said that walking corpse syndrome is considered a form of mental illness, but some cases may also be associated with neuropathy. 3. Foreign language accent syndrome. Patients will speak with a foreign accent. The disorder is caused by damage to speech-related parts of the brain. Dr. Montrose said that stroke is the most common cause, although other neuropathies such as trauma and tumors can also cause the disease. 4. Dr. Strangelove syndrome. Also known as dissociative hand syndrome, it is manifested when the patient’s hands are not directed by the brain’s consciousness, resulting in uncoordinated hands. The condition is usually caused by a tumor, stroke or surgery that affects the corpus callosum (the part of the brain that connects the left and right). 5. Alice in Wonderland syndrome. Also known as Todd’s syndrome, it usually causes a disturbance in the migraine sufferer’s perception of distance and size when seeing objects. For example, objects may feel significantly larger or smaller, or much further away than they actually are. Patients may also experience hallucinations and a sense that time is passing unusually fast or slow. 6. Werewolf syndrome. Caused by a rare genetic mutation that affects people regardless of gender and age. People suffering from this disease, the whole body or certain areas of the body will grow thick hair, even if laser hair removal is difficult to control permanently. 7, ichthyosis syndrome. This is a genetic metabolic disease, due to the lack of an enzyme in the body of the patient, resulting in the inability to effectively break down trimethylamine. Trimethylamine is a byproduct of the protein digestion process and causes a rotten fish-like odor to emanate from the body fluids. It is also accompanied by a fishy odor in the patient’s urine, sweat and breath, and there is no cure for the disease.
