A member asked:
Is it possible for a teenager to have stress cardiomyopathy aka "broken heart syndrome"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes but associated with significant stress. So the typical teenage problems of breaking up with the girl/ boy you took to the home coming dance, or acne or disappointing grades do not tend to cause. Associated with extreme life stresses, divorce, death of a loved one etc..
