Scientists, “broken heart syndrome”, also known as Takotsubo for the first effective treatment to announce that they may have detected. According to research, a three -month exercise program or cognitive behavioral therapy significantly improve the patient's heart function.
Broken heart syndrome usually occurs after loss of myocardial after losing relatives and weakening. This syndrome shows similar symptoms with a heart attack, which is a serious health problem that is diagnosed with about 5,000 people per year and double the risk of death in general population.Dr. David Gamble presented his outstanding findings about the disease at the European Heart Association in Madrid.In the study, 76 Takotsubo patients were divided into three groups: the first group of the exercise program, the second cognitive behavioral treatment group and the other group were only put into standard treatment. 90 percent of participants are women and their average age is 66. Therapy groups have received an hour per week.Exercise, when starting research, can walk an average of 457 meters in six minutes, while the program at the end of this distance is 528 meters. In the therapy group, it was observed from 402 meters to 458 meters. In addition, the maximum VO2 values, which means the maximum oxygen consumption in both groups, shows a significant increase.The researchers have checked the production of energy and use the heart by the advanced image method called the resonance spectrum from 31p. The results show that the heart of the patient exercise or therapy can produce more fuel and increase the ability to pump. The team at the University of Aberdeen previously revealed that Takotsubo's heart metabolism has decreased for a long time.In 2023, it was claimed that the pop star Sinead O'Connor lost his life due to the broken heart of Islam after his 17 -year -old son Shane's suicide. Although he was not officially diagnosed with Takotsubo, his former partner, Dermot Hayes, said, this shows us that broken heart may be a real cause of disease and death.
