Dr. Magdy Abdel Hamid, Professor and Head of the Cardiology Department at Kasr Al-Ainy Medicine, revealed that Broken Heart Syndrome affects people who are exposed to sad or happy situations, because it leads to an increase in the secretion of the hormone adrenaline and noradrenaline, which leads to an increase in their level in the blood and causes an increase in the heart rate. The efficiency of the heart muscle decreases, and may sometimes lead to death, as a result of ventricular arrhythmia. He explained that this condition improves with treatment and the heart regains its health.
Patients are advised not to be affected by situations that are sad or happy to the extent that they affect their hearts, and to avoid heart complications, visit a doctor to receive the necessary treatment and control emotional stress. It is important for early diagnosis and taking medications that improve heart health.
He added that some people need to have a shock device installed, noting that broken heart syndrome patients cause heart complications, just like heart patients.
He pointed out that there are factors that affect the incidence of heart disease, leading to heart disease appearing 10 years earlier than in Western countries, as a result of obesity, smoking, and eating unhealthy food, in addition to other risk factors such as diabetes, cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
He said that heart failure affects 2% of the population, explaining that there are two types of heart failure patients: the first is accompanied by a weak heart muscle, and the other is not accompanied by a weak heart muscle, but rather is accompanied by a defect in the left ventricle of the heart, and it is one of the widespread diseases because the most important cause is heart failure. Coronary artery disease after severe heart clots. If the patient is not treated immediately, he will suffer from coronary artery failure. Therefore, we recommend treating acute heart clots immediately because any delay leads to weakness in the heart muscle. He explained that every 30 minutes of delay in opening the artery and removing the clot leads to an increase in the rate of coronary artery disease. 7.5% in deaths each year.
He added that a heart attack leads to heart failure Myocardium If it is not treated immediately, he explained that the clot may not cause weakness of the heart muscle if the artery is opened urgently and the patient is saved immediately, stressing that injury to the valves as a result of rheumatic fever leads to weakness of the heart muscle, and any patient who complains of palpitations and swelling in the legs, And fatigue with any effort, whether combined or a factor of them, must be diagnosed as suffering from a weak heart muscle, and a hormonal analysis must be done to show the cause of heart failure, or an echocardiogram (sound waves on the heart) must be done to find out the reason, or an MRI must be done because the treatment The reason is important.
