Cardiovascular Effects of a Soccer Match in Viewers With With Coronary Artery Disease

December 20, 2012 updated by: Daniel Medeiros Moreira, Instituto de Cardiologia de Santa Catarina

Watching football matches could cause increased blood pressure and heart rate induced by catecholamines and thus increase the incidence of cardiovascular events. However, no studies have evaluated the responses of blood pressure and heart rate in soccer spectators.

This study evaluates the hemodynamic response in Brazilian soccer fans suffering from coronary artery disease during a dispute over a game of your favorite team.
