IT'S OFTEN SAID THEY DIED OF A BROKEN HEART -- BUT DID YOU KNOW THERE ACTUALLY IS A REAL SYNDROME CALLED THE BROKEN HEART SYNDROME?

DIE OF A BROKEN HEART-PKG

CYNDY BIZON'S HUSBAND JOEL HAD BEEN IN THE CARDIAC ICU AT MAINE MEDICAL CENTER FOR 3 DAYS.RECOVERING FROM A HEART ATTACK.AS *SHE* HELD VIGIL IN A NEARBY WAITING ROOM.

03:10:34 - Nancy -

You're constantly waiting for someone to come out and talk to you.

03:10:36 - Cyndy -

Sure.

03:10:37 - Nancy -

.and your stress hormones are off the charts.

p

03:10:39 - Cyndy -

Always on edge, but I thought I was doing fine and I thought I was handling it very well

BUT SHE WASN'T.

04:16:22 - Cyndy

I remember, coming, standing by the nurses station talking to someone and saying I feel dizzy, I really feel dizzy and I just tried to shake it away. And I remember grabbing onto a counter and just trying to hold on for support.and at that moment a black cloud, curtain just came down over my eyes that I couldn't shake away and that's the last thing that I remember.

CYNDY WAS IN FULL CARDIAC ARREST, SUFFERING FROM SOMETHING *LITERALLY CALLED*. "BROKEN HEART SYNDROME."

90 PERCENT OF THE PATIENTS WHO EXPERIENCE IT ARE POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN-- MOSTLY OVER AGE 55.

DR ILAN WITTSTEIN 06:05:06

we think that as women age their hearts and small blood vessels around their heart become more susceptible to these stress hormones. So a stress that you might experience at the age of 25 when your estrogen levels are high might not have the same effect on your heart as it might when you're 65 years old.

3D ANIMATION

THE EXTREME STRESS OF HER HUSBAND'S MEDICAL CRISIS TRIGGERED CYNDY'S BRAIN TO SEND A SIGNAL TO HER ADRENAL GLANDS, WHICH RELEASED AN UNUSUAL SURGE OF STRESS HORMONES INTO HER BLOODSTREAM. *THAT SURGE* RUSHED TO HER HEART, ESSENTIALLY *PARALYZING* PART OF IT, CAUSING IT TO BALLOON OUT --LIKE THIS-- AND THEN SHUT DOWN

DR ILAN WITTSTEIN

There are cases of people dying of this condition. And when I'm asked, "Can you die of a broken heart," we-- say, "Absolutely, yes. You can."

NAT BREAK CYNDY & JOEL

CYNDY AND JOEL BOTH RECOVERED AND NOW, CELEBRATING LIFE'S SIMPLE PLEASURES HAS TAKEN ON NEW MEANING.
