Broken heart has always been one of the favorite subjects for poets. However, experts warn that broken heart may shatter one’s life terribly.
Actually, a study conducted by British researchers has unveiled that stress caused by bereavement affects regions of the brain that control learning, memory and emotion in such a way that it may destabilize the cardiac muscle of someone. Unfortunately, patients with heart disease are more susceptible to such situation.
Throwing more light on this concept, researchers said:
When we are under stress, these “higher regions” of the brain take part in a vicious circle of activity, which can trigger harmful rhythms.
Through this finding, one thing is clear that bereavement, by stirring up irregular cardiac rhythms, may play havoc with somebody’s life.
This was already known that stress mars cardiovascular health. However, the new study brings out the exact way in which stress work against heart. Moreover, several studies conducted earlier have also shown that how badly stress affects our health. Have a look at such studies:
