Time does not mend a broken heart as scientists find condition causes long-term damage
A team of medical researchers from the University of Aberdeen have said that so-called "broken heart syndrome" can leave physical scars that never recover.
British Heart Foundation-funded study followed 52 patients over four months, aged between 28 and 87, who suffered with what is officially known as takotsubo syndrome.
Figures show that between three per cent and 17 per cent of sufferers die within five years of diagnosis.
Around 90 per cent are female and the stressful trigger - often associated with the sudden death of a loved one - is identified in around 70 per cent of cases.
