It turns out that being brokenhearted after the death of a loved one isn’t just a euphemism — it’s possible that the loss of a partner may actually trigger an irregular heartbeat, according to a new study, especially when the loss is sudden.

“People are more likely to develop an irregular heartbeat following the death of their spouse or life partner, particularly if they’re younger or the loved one died unexpectedly,” reported HealthDay on Wednesday, citing a study conducted by Danish researchers and published Tuesday in the journal Open Heart.

The study found that the risk of atrial fibrillation, a kind of heart arrhythmia, was 41 percent higher among people whose partners had died compared to those who hadn’t experienced the death of a partner, HealthDay reported, and an unexpected death seems to play an even greater role in that risk.
