10 Broken Heart Syndrome Symptoms
Symptom #9: Cardiogenic Shock
Cardiogenic shock is a condition where the heart is not able to pump properly. It is caused when the cells of the heart are effectively stunned by an increase in stress hormones flowing through the body. Cardiogenic shock will usually pass within a few days or so with no permanent damage being done.
This condition will mean that the heart is unable to supply the body with all the oxygen that it needs. It tends to affect just one part of the heart directly, although other parts might also be affected as a result. It is something that should be monitored by a medical professional.
