Picture
With Valentine's Day coming up, many of us are thinking about chocolates, cards  and flowers for our sweethearts. But what about those who have recently lost someone they love? 

A recent study by medics at the University of Aberdeen found that 'broken heart syndrome', also known as acute stress-induced cardiomyopathy, doesn't heal as rapidly as we thought. It turns out that time may heal a broken heart...but it requires more time that we thought.

Four months after the triggering event, typically a major stress or trauma, echocardiograms show the heart as normal, but more advanced cardiac MR and spectroscopy reveal continued abnormalities.
