乐极生悲? 过度快乐可能真的会心碎1

Celebrating a birthday may not seem like a dangerous pastime but too much happiness can be heart-breaking, according to doctors.

庆祝生日看上去并非一项危险的娱乐，但快乐爆棚则可能让你心碎，医生说。

Health experts have known for some time that sad events, such as the loss of a spouse, can trigger a condition known as ’broken heart syndrome’ which feels like a heart attack and can be fatal if not treated quickly.

卫生专家早已认识到伤心的事件，比如失去配偶，可以导致“心碎症”，这个症状类似心脏病，如果不尽快治疗则可能致命。

Now for the first time doctors have shown that over-excitement from happy events can also spark the condition, which they have named ’happy heart syndrome.’ In short, happiness can be lethal.

而现在，医生第一次证实快乐的活动引起的过度兴奋也会促发该症状，这被称为“开心病”。简而言之，快乐也可以致命。

Since ’broken heart syndrome’ was first identified in 1990, doctors at the University Hospital Zurich in Switzerland have been compiling a database of worldwide attacks which currently holds 1750 patients.

自从‘心碎症”在1990年被首次发现，瑞士苏黎世大学医院的医生们从世界各地收集了一份目前拥有1750个病人信息的数据。

Most attacks were triggered by episodes of severe emotional distress, such as grief, fear and anger. Attending funerals was a common factor and one incident occurred after an obese patient got stuck in the bath.
