Do not underestimate a broken heart. This condition can cause takotsubo cardiomyopathy or heart attack due to stress.
Broken hearts are usually associated with the loss of a family member or spouse, although the loss of a parent, child, pet, loved one or close friends can "break a person's heart," and is often experienced when sad and feeling lost.
Most of the broken hearts are women, due to their gentle and trusting nature to their partners.
