Can a broken heart kill you if you already suffer from major depression?

Answer 1

Yes, but it's very rare. “Broken heart syndrome,” otherwise known as stress cardiomyopathy or takotsubo cardiomyopathy, manifests itself as intense chest pain that comes on suddenly as a reaction to a surge of stress hormones. This is caused by an emotionally stressful event, such as the death of a loved one or even something positive like winning the lottery. Unlike a heart attack, there’s no evidence of blocked arteries in broken heart syndrome. Additionally, blood tests show no sign of heart damage.

While many who experience broken heart syndrome make a full recovery, the condition is sometimes fatal. It has been speculated that actress Debbie Reynolds, who died one day after her daughter Carrie Fisher, and Johnny Cash, who died within months of wife, June Carter Cash, suffered from the syndrome.
