However, because she felt unwell even the next day, the woman went to the doctor. The woman was diagnosed with “Takotsubo cardiomyopathy” after the medical examination.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a heart disease that has electrocardiographic changes similar to myocardial infarction, and was named because the shape of the systolic heart resembles that of Takotsubo.

Normally, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is thought to be caused by stress, and it is often caused when a close person such as a family member or friend is lost. For this reason, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is sometimes called Broken heart syndrome.
This is a very rare case, as there have been no reports of cases of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy that have been triggered by food. In response to this report, the specialists will analyze the risk of new Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and evaluate the risk.
On the other hand, wasabi seems to be suspicious as a cause of female symptoms, but it is not clear whether it was really caused by wasabi.
Although takotsubo cardiomyopathy can cause serious heart problems, it is often cured. The woman has been treated for a month and is recovering.
