ABSTRACT
SUMMARY This article aims to make reference to some recent mourning aspects considered risk factors for cardiovascular disease, specifically the Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. The objective was to describe the stress from the death of a loved one combining it to the possibility of occurrence of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy through the perception of a traumatic event by the cortex, which triggers the subcortical brain circuit affecting the endocrine response. Given the growing acknowledgement of this cardiomyopathy, it is possible to contextualize the nutritional behaviours and decisions surrounding it, whose benefits must exceed the condition of temporary cardiac dysfunction and extend to food choices that have some influence in the limbic system. It is a descriptive analysis that aims to problematize the theme into reflections based on this experience, considering the foundation with the science of nutrition.
RESUMO
RESUMO

INTRODUÇÃO:

Este artigo busca fazer referência a alguns aspectos do luto recente considerados fatores de risco para a doença cardiovascular, específicamente a cardiomiopatia de Takotsubo. Objetivou-se descrever o estresse proveniente da morte do ente querido aliando-o à possibilidade de ocorrência da cardiomiopatia de Takotsubo, mediante a percepção de um evento traumático pelo córtex que aciona o circuito cerebral subcortical tendo repercussões na resposta endócrina. Dado o crescente reconhecimento dessa cardiomiopatia, torna-se viável contextualizar as condutas nutricionais e as decisões que as norteiam, cujos benefícios devem ultrapassar a condição de disfunção cardíaca temporária e se estender às escolhas alimentares que exercem alguma influência no sistema límbico. Trata-se de uma análise descritiva que objetiva problematizar a temática em reflexões pautadas nessa vivência, considerando o alicerce com a ciência da nutrição.
