Answer Is In… You Can Die From A Broken Heart!
Can you die from a broken heart? Heck yeah! At least that is what a 50 year old women found out while visiting her sister-in-law’s grave. Thank goodness she had an AICD, pacer-defibrillator. And that very same AICD also showed that it fired during the actual burial as well.
The unidentified woman, whose case was described in a new report, suffered an electrical short-circuit that would have caused cardiac arrest if she hadn’t had a defibrillator in her chest. The device recorded the exact time, and her doctor later discovered that she suffered an attack as her brother’s wife was being buried.
This was the only time that her AICD fired over the last 6 months. Stress can be so powerful in ones body. This type of incidence is unfortunate, and she was lucky, but the technology does allow us to better examine how our bodies react to situations and stress.
The woman’s brush with death could have been coincidental. But it came exactly a week after her father’s unexpected death; the sister-in-law collapsed and died the same day after hearing that her father-in-law had died.
