Don't Die of a Broken Heart

Can you die of a broken heart? Can grief and adversity truly have a fatal effect on the most vital organ in our body? Perhaps we don’t treat the heart as a symbol of feelings by accident. Emotions really do have a huge influence on the heart. But how deep is the connection between a dramatic breakup with a partner and heart disease?

Doctor Nikki Stump investigates the so-called “broken heart syndrome” in her book—and also shares the unique experience she gained during her work. Stories about patients, advice from a professional doctor-cardiologist, and a delightful confession of love to the heart—everything awaits you in the wonderful popular science book “(Not) Die of a Broken Heart.”
