Researchers have confirmed in recent years what people long suspected: Extreme stress can literally break your heart. Although rare, it can happen when people or pets die, during stressful medical treatments, after a job loss, or when other overwhelming stresses occur. Symptoms can mimic that of a heart attack.
Studies also link stress to changes in the way blood clots, which increases the risk of heart attack
Stress cardiomyopathy also referred to as “broken heart syndrome,” takotsubo cardiomyopathy, and the apical ballooning syndrome is a condition in which intense emotional or physical stress can cause rapid and severe heart muscle weakness (cardiomyopathy).
