severe stress can lead to a broken heart syndrome. About it reports The Guardian with reference to the study.
According to the newspaper, scientists have found that two molecules arising from a high level of stress are involved in the development of a broken heart syndrome – which is also known as cardiomyopathy Taxeta.
This state at which the left ventricle of the heart is weakened, which is responsible for pumping blood. Most often, the appearance of this syndrome is provoked by a sharp emotional shock and emissions of adrenaline in the body. At the same time, an event can be any – loss of a loved one and sorrow, car accident, earthquake, menopause and even such happy events, such as a wedding. His main danger – in similarity with a heart attack.
According to scientists, two molecules – micrunnk-16 and micrunnk-26a, which are associated with depression, anxiety and elevated level of stress – previously found in the blood of patients Taxeta.
“Patients with Tatsoto, the lower part of the heart stops fighting, and the upper part of the heart beats more. In fact, the same thing happens when we increase the effect of molecules in laboratory conditions. In this case, there is exactly the same as when taktoly , That is, makes a more likely development of Takottsubo, “said the lead author of the study, Dr. Liam Coach from the Imperial College of London.
Strong prolonged stress acts on a person in the same way as a strong sharp shock, which may eventually provoke a broken heart syndrome. However, the problem is that at the moment to diagnose takottsubo in patients before it happens, it is impossible.
