Can cancer break your heart? A new study suggests that there's a link between cancer and a condition called broken heart syndrome., found that 1 in 6 people with broken heart syndrome had cancer, and that these patients in particular were more likely to die within five years, compared with broken heart syndrome patients without cancer.
In the new study, the researchers looked at data from the International Takotsubo Registry on more than 1,600 patients with broken heart syndrome. They found that 1 in 6 had cancer. Of those with cancer, nearly 90 percent were women. The most frequent type of cancer was breast, followed by the gastrointestinal system, respiratory tract, internal sex organs, skin and other areas.Almost twice as likely to have experienced a physical trigger versus an emotional trigger of broken heart syndrome.
Perfectly understandable. A broken heart shuts down your body and immune system.
