Men Have Double The Chance Of Dying From "Broken Heart Syndrome" That Women Do
The condition can be caused by physical stress as well as emotional stress and seems more dangerous in men.
Dr. Russell Moul
...In addition to this, the results also showed that men are two times more likely to die from broken heart syndrome than women. The reasons for this difference are not yet understood, even though the fact has been observed in previous work. One factor could relate to the triggers that cause the condition in many men. Whereas women tend to get broken heart syndrome after experiencing extreme emotional events – such as the death of a loved one or the loss of a job – men tend to be triggered by physical stress events.
The study’s lead author, Dr Mohammad Movahed, suggested to NBC News that men may find it harder to recover from sudden broken heart syndrome because they often lack sufficient social support to help them address stress.
