Antiquity The news of the death of the former groom, Ismail Muhammad Abdel SamadAs a result of his disclosure For heart attack On her wedding night, social media users were saddened and surprised, as questions mixed with fear about whether feelings of happiness and intense joy could lead to a heart attack rose.
Do feelings of joy and happiness lead to death?
Studies have shown that takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as “broken heart syndrome (BHS)”, can be caused by both negative and positive life events, hence it is also known as “happy heart syndrome” (HHS) (2).
A happy event can cause a sudden weakening of the heart muscles, causing the left ventricle, which pumps oxygen-rich blood throughout the body, to dilate abnormally at the bottom.
According to the US National Institutes of Health, takotsubo cardiomyopathy is characterized by a transient defect in left ventricular contraction without evidence of obstructive coronary artery disease. Along with severe chest pain and shortness of breath, it can lead to heart attack and death.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is often caused by physically or emotionally stressful events such as receiving bad news; deaths, accidents and natural disasters; or the presence of complex medical conditions.
In addition to surgical procedures, sepsis, trauma or cerebrovascular disease.
The results of a study involving 2,482 patients showed that 910 patients (36.7%) were exposed to an emotional stimulus consisting of 873 “broken hearts” (95.9%) and 37 “happy hearts” (4.1%).
Happy Heart Syndrome
According to Harvard Medical School, research has shown that happy heart syndrome is a rare type of heart syndrome characterized by a higher prevalence in male patients and atypical growth compared to patients with negative emotional stress.
But in rare cases, stress cardiomyopathy occurs with happy events — for example: a birthday party, a wedding, or the birth of a grandchild — and most of these cases were in men, the researchers found.
Although more studies are needed with more patients, the results appeared to be similar regardless of whether people had broken or happy heart syndrome.
