乐极生悲
Scientists say it isn’t just sad things that make us broken-hearted. Happy events can also be bad for our heart. A broken heart is a real illness. It’s not just the sadness we feel when something bad happens. We get broken heart syndrome when we are stressed and during emotional times, such as the end of a friendship or love, the death of family and friends, or the loss of a job. The medical name for this is Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS: Takotsubo”综合症). People can get it, and could cause death, when very happy things happen. The doctors who found this have called it “happy heart syndrome”.
The study is published in the European Heart Journal. Dr Jelena Ghadri studied data from 1,750 people who have TTS. These people were from nine different countries. They found that 485 of them got TTS because of an emotional event. Twenty of these had TTS because of a happy event. These people had heart problems after birthday parties, weddings, favorite sports teams winning, and the birth of grandchildren. Dr Ghadri said our brain may think happy and sad events are alike, so both can make Takotsubo Syndrome.
