Stress cardiomyopathyIn the human body, stress cardiomyopathy (or broken heart syndrome) is a condition in which heart muscles are temporarily weakened. Stress cardiomyopathy could easily be confused with a heart attack, but stress cardiomyopathy is much less serious. Emotional stress may trigger stress cardiomyopathy. It was originally described in Japan as takotsubo-syndrome. Only recently it became more known in the western world. Current theory has it that a sudden, massive surge of adrenalin stuns the heart, greatly reducing the ability to pump blood. The common treatment for heart attack of administering adrenalin to support blood pressure is not appropriate for this condition. For unknown reasons the great majority of stress cardiomyopathy cases have been diagnosed in women. Of 3,000,000 heart attacks in US women diagnosed each year as many as 60,000 may actually be Broken Heart Syndrome, requiring different treatment, according to some estimates.

Stress cardiomyopathy could easily be confused with a heart attack, but stress cardiomyopathy is much less serious. The term sol is used by planetary astronomers to refer to the duration of a solar day on planets other than Earth (e.g. In the human body, stress cardiomyopathy (or broken heart syndrome) is a condition in which heart muscles are temporarily weakened. By extension, the Solar System is often referred to in science fiction as the "Sol System". 'Sol' is more frequently used in science fiction writing, as a formal name for the specific star, perhaps to avoid supposed geocentric associations of the Anglo-Saxon derived word Sun (sunne). The Latin name is widely known, but not common in general English language usage --though the related adjective solar is more common. Sol is the name or personification of the Sun (in Latin), and can also refer to sunlight, sunbeam, or east (the direction where the Sun rises). |
