Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, or broken heart syndrome, is a temporary heart condition triggered by extreme emotional or physical stress. During an episode, the heart's main chamber balloons out and weakens, which severely limits blood circulation. While it mimics a heart attack, it is caused by a massive surge of adrenaline rather than blocked arteries. This condition can be life-threatening, though most patients recover within a few weeks if they receive immediate medical care. Music composed by B
