Ladies. Very interesting research by Carothoracic Surgeon, Dr Nicki Stamp about how heart break can literally break us.
Did you know that for women who are divorced, the risk of a heart attack is between 1.29 to 1.39 times higher than for women who are continuously married?
For men, the figures are similar, with the risk of heart attack for divorcees 1.38 times greater than for their married counterparts.
What is different, though, is that when men remarry that risk drops back down to a similar level to that of their continuously married mates.
A US study of more than 16,000 patients found a scary trend: for both men and women divorce increases the risk of having a heart attack; however, for women that risk is even higher, especially for women who are currently divorced.
Now here’s when things get a little unfair for ladies.
If you remarry, your risk of a heart attack doesn’t lower.
For the men, however, the risk goes down a little. And, unsurprisingly, the more divorces you have the worse it is for your heart.

Heartbreak affects our mental health, but also our physical health.
