Researchers dont know what causes the gender disparity, but they have some ideas. Reported the AP:

　　One theory is that hormones play a role. Another is that men have more adrenaline receptors on cells in their hearts than women do, so maybe men are able to handle stress better and the chemical surge it releases, Deshmukh said.

　　surge n. 大浪;汹涌澎湃;巨涌 vi. 激增;汹涌 vt. 使颠簸

　　About 10% of sufferers will have a second episode at some point, but most return to full heart function without permanent damage or need for follow-up treatment. So, it looks like the way to mend a broken heart is what Mom always said: just give it time.

　　follow-up 后续

　　Question time:

　　1. What is called broken heart syndrome?

　　2. Whats the difference between broken heart syndrome and heart attack ?

　　3. Why are women more vulnerable to broken hearts ?

　　1. when a sudden shock or prolonged stress causes heart attack-like symptoms or heart failure, it is called broken heart syndrome.

　　2. The difference is that the factors that would normally cause heart attack, such as a blocked artery, arent present.

　　3. One theory is that hormones play a role. Another is that men have more adrenaline receptors on cells in their hearts than women do.
