The husband of one of the teachers killed in the Texas school shooting this week collapsed and died from what his family says was a broken heart. Here are the symptoms and causes of broken heart syndrome:
Irma Garcia’s nephew, John Martinez, said Joe collapsed at home on Thursday shortly after delivering flowers for Irma's memorial. Doctors said a sudden death following a tragedy could be evidence of broken heart syndrome, a rare condition that mimics a heart attack.
People can also develop broken heart syndrome after a positive, emotionally charged event like a surprise party or winning the lottery, or after a physical event like extreme exercise. Bhatt said some people may experience broken heart syndrome within minutes of bad news being delivered, while others may take time to emotionally process a traumatic event.
"If they're new, concerning symptoms, seek prompt medical attention — typically calling 911," he said."Unfortunately, sometimes the first manifestation of a heart attack is a fatal one, so not everyone has symptoms."
