A member asked:
I am wondering what cardiac changes take place during broken heart syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Takotsubo syndrome: The ventricular wall thins and balloons out - overall contractility (ejection fraction) falls. Many mechanisms have been proposed but the actual cause is not known. It is not due to blocked coronary arteries.
