I was just reading the [1] Top 10 Amazing Facts About Your Heart at LiveScience.com.

The #2 Amazing Fact was about the impact of relationship “break-ups” on the heart. I found this interesting:

“Alas, a broken heart can cause one to swoon. A breakup with a loved one or news of a family death literally can lead to broken hearts in the form of heightened risk for heart attack, studies have shown. Such trauma can also trigger the release of stress hormones into the bloodstream that temporarily “stun” the heart. The resulting symptoms mimic those of a heart attack - chest pain and shortness of breath - but this type of achy heart can bounce back in days with some tender loving care and rest.”
