이야기와 상식
The metaphor of a broken heart turns out to be medically real. 'Takotsubo cardiomyopathy' or 'broken heart syndrome' was identified in Japan in 1990, showing that extreme emotional stress can temporarily weaken the heart muscle. People really can become physically ill—or even die—from grief, just as poets have always claimed.
