Broken Heart Syndrome - Repost (Original Air Date: 3/2022)

AGELESS GLAMOUR GIRLS (AGG) PODCAST

Its symptoms are like those of a heart attack. We’re talking about the vulnerable heart, on this week's Ageless Glamour Girls Podcast. February is National Heart Month, and we're revisiting a popular and very important episode: “Broken Heart Syndrome.” It first aired in March of 2022 - our debut season. Broken Heart Syndrome can happen when you experience sudden acute stress. And get this - a study published last year, suggests cases of the condition are increasing in middle-aged and older women. The good news is that it’s treatable. The study's senior author, Dr. Susan Cheng of the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, joined us to discuss the findings and solutions.
