Research shows that time does not heal

Experts at Aberdeen University said that time could not heal the pain and people could "die" because of love.

Many people often think that time will help the wound "broken heart" to be scarred or sad. However, a recent study by scientists at the University of Aberdeen (Scotland) shows that time cannot heal pain.

This conclusion came after a group of Scottish experts spent four years studying the "broken heart" syndrome or in medicine known as Takotsubo stress cardiomyopathy (TSM - heart muscle tension). Takotsubo).

This syndrome was first described in 1990 in Japan. Syndrome causes heart attacks for patients, often when they face stress, loss of friends, family, or break up with their loved ones - mostly with women.

Specifically, the doctor found that the left ventricles of these people bulged like balls, resembling Takotsubo - a basket to catch ink. This causes a greater pressure on the heart - this explains the patient's angina.

Many experts believe that angina attacks are caused by a blocked coronary artery, but after the test is not correct. However, experts warn that the heart muscle of these people becomes poor and "patients can go downhill" very quickly.

Dana Dawson, the head of the research team, said: "When we went to check the heart, it was completely normal, but when talking to them, we felt a lot of people were depressed, psychological instability and cannot return to work as usual ".

Besides, experts say, the production of hormones Cortisol is thought to be one of the biggest causes . Cortisol is a chemical released by the adrenal gland as part of a "coping or fleeing" reaction to every danger.

The explosion of Cortisol production increases blood sugar, making our muscles work faster. This in part causes the brain to increase energy and accelerate activity to other parts of the body.

Michael Strachan - a patient diagnosed with TSM syndrome said: "Everyone thinks of a heart attack and I am happy to be able to contribute to science. Hopefully my participation is Can help scientists come closer to explaining this "broken heart" syndrome ".

Experts will continue to study and hope that in the future, they will find out the exact cause and bring out the specific treatment direction. However, there is still no evidence that time can help people suffering from the pain of love soon return to normal.
