問題詳情


(C) Reading Comprehension (31~40)31~33)Scientists have said it isn't just sad things that make us brokenhearted. Happy events can also be bad for our heart. A brokenheart is a real illness. It's not just the sadness we feel when something bad happens. We get broken heart syndrome when we arestressed and during emotional times, such as a relationship breakup, the death of family and friends, or the loss of a job. The medicalname for this is Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS). People can get it when very happy things happen, too. The doctors who discovered thishave called it "happy heart syndrome".The study is in the European Heart Journal. Heart expert Dr. Jelena Ghadri analyzed data from 1,750 patients with TTS. Thepatients were from nine different countries. They found that 485 patients got TTS because of an emotional event. Twenty of thesehad TTS because of a happy event. The patients had heart problems after birthday parties, weddings, favorite sports teams winning,and the birth of grandchildren. Dr. Ghadri said our brain may think happy and sad events are almost the same, so both can makeTakotsubo Syndrome happen.
