Men face a higher death risk from "broken heart syndrome" than women, despite it being more common in women, a study finds.

A study in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that men are more likely to die from "broken heart syndrome," or takotsubo cardiomyopathy, than women, despite it being more common in women. This stress-induced heart condition, triggered by emotional or physical stress, can prevent the heart from pumping properly. The study showed a death rate of about 11% for men and 5% for women, highlighting the need for further research to improve treatment.
