Its symptoms are like those of a heart attack. We’re talking about the vulnerable heart, on this week's Ageless Glamour Girls Podcast. As we continue our summer break, we're revisiting another popular and very important episode: “Broken Heart Syndrome.” It first aired in March of last year - our debut season. Broken Heart Syndrome can happen when you experience sudden acute stress. And get this - a study published last year, suggests cases of the condition are increasing in middle-aged and older women. The good news is it’s treatable. The study's senior author, Dr. Susan Cheng of the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, joined us to discuss the findings and solutions.
