Hospitalized
From A Broken Heart
Hospitalization
from a broken heart is actually real. It is called "broken
heart syndrome."
A tragic or shocking event can stun the heart and produce classic
heart attack-like symptoms, including chest pain, shortness of
breath and fluid in the lungs. Unlike a heart attack, the condition
is reversible.
Testing can
show abnormal rhythms, but then return to normal. Patients often
are hospitalized but typically recover within days after little
more than bed rest and fluids and suffer no permanent damage to
their hearts.
