Yes Seelan,
I thought this Is a very interesting condition,because , have you ever heard OfThe age old CLICHE ” “He/ She Died Of A Broken Heart after hearing The death Of A Loved One…. Or any other issue”
Well then this condition is the Medical evidence to prove the truth of theCliche.
It is the TAKA-TSUBO syndrome, or HEART BROKEN SYndrome, or STRESS SYNDROME
