“…Therefore, we hypothesize that, in addition to the score, other variables may play a role in the incidence of IHD, for example, the tense atmosphere in the stadium which could generate stress, anxiety, and hostility in some cases. This idea was consistent with previous report where ACSs among spectators in a soccer stadium were measured [30].…”

Background: Physical and emotional stress have been associated with an increased incidence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Sporting events such as soccer matches can cause spectators to experience cardiovascular events. The objective of the present study was to determine whether an association of this type existed during a Spanish league competition. Methods:We recorded data from patients who were admitted with ACS during 2018 -2020. Patients were divided into two groups: those who were admitted on the day the local team played and those who were admitted on nonmatch days. We determined various cardiovascular risk factors, including the degree of hostility and anxiety.Results: Away wins reduced the number of admissions with ACS by 30%, whereas a local loss increased hospitalizations by more than 30%. The profile of patient admitted on match days was a > 65 years old man, smoker (current or past), obese, with worse control of his hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, poor pharmacological adherence and high anxiety and hostility scores. Conclusions:A loss by the local team increases the number of admissions with ACS in males with a high burden of cardiovascular risk factors. Primary prevention measures should be taken to reduce the frequency of these events.

“…Environmental stress (such as earthquakes, war, or sporting events) may increase the risk of cardiovascular events. 10 , 11 A growing body of evidence suggests that seasonal influenza pandemics trigger acute arrhythmias and coronary syndromes. Several studies reported that, during high activity influenza periods, patients were more likely to have ventricular arrhythmias treated with shock or anti-tachycardia pacing.…”

“…Diverse Studien zeigten in den letzten Jahren eine erhöhte Inzidenz des plötzlichen Herztods unter Zuschauern eines Fuß-ballspiels [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. Neben groß-en Fußballturnieren wie der Fußballwelt-meisterschaft [2,3,4] oder der Fußball-europameisterschaft [5] sind offensichtlich auch Ligaspiele von einer erhöhten Rate plötzlicher Herztode betroffen [6].…”
