It turns out you can literally die from a broken heart.
If you've ever been savagely dumped or suffered the loss of a loved one, you'll know one of the only ways to heal a metaphorical 'broken heart' is time. 
But what about when that broken heart has real, physical effects?
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, otherwise known as 'broken heart syndrome', was first discovered in the 1990s. It's characterised by the heart's left ventricle losing function and is typically caused by emotional or physical stress.
The condition mimics a heart attack with chest pain, shortness of breath and irregular heartbeat. It also almost exclusively affects women, especially after menopause, with new research suggesting that up to eight percent of women suspected of having a heart attack may have this disorder.
