Woman mistakes wasabi for avocado and ends up broken-hearted

That's no avocado; that's an avo-cardio(myopathy)

Who can go past some smashed avo? No self-respecting Aussie millennial, that’s for sure.

But the allure proved just as strong for a 60-year-old woman in Israel, who happily ate a large mouthful of green goodness only to realise she had ingested a whopping amount of wasabi instead.

After the burning blunder, “she felt a sudden pressure in her chest radiating to her arms”, which lasted a few hours, according to BMJ Case Reports.

The following day, still in discomfort, she presented to an ED. Doctors found no signs of heart failure, but an ultrasound revealed moderate left ventricular dysfunction.
