Scientists say it isn't just things that make us brokenhearted. Happy can also be bad for our heart. A broken heart is a illness. It's not just the we feel when something bad happens. We get broken heart syndrome when we are and during emotional , such as a relationship breakup, the of family and friends, or the of a job. The medical name for this is Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS). People can get it, and be at of death, when very happy things happen. The doctors who discovered have called it "happy heart syndrome".

The is published in the European Heart Journal. Heart Dr Jelena Ghadri analysed from 1,750 patients who suffered from TTS. The patients were from nine countries. They found that 485 patients got TTS of an emotional event. Twenty of had TTS because of a happy event. The patients had heart problems after birthday , weddings, favourite sports teams , and the birth of grandchildren. Dr Ghadri said our may think happy and sad events are similar, so can result in Takotsubo Syndrome.
