Heart Attack increases around Super Bowl time

That’s Amaury News and Commentary

By Amaury Pi-González

John Ryan, Professor of Medicine at the University of Utah, discusses the risk of having a heart attack during the Super Bowl. “It’s about stress management and how you deal with stress.” “It is also about coping with mechanisms” says the doctor, who continued; “Super Bowl time is ripe for increases in a heart attack, other contributors are eating poorly, smoking, drinking alcohol, being dehydrated, or indulging in high-caloric food like wings and beer.

Although doctors do not say it, prices of tickets for the Super Bowl could also give you a heart attack. “It’s real, it’s an actual thing,” says one cardiologist about the increased risk of cardiovascular problems during the NFL title game” in an article published in the Orange County Register.

A study by Rober A. Kloner of the Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles was published in the American Journal of Cardiology. “The emotional stress of loss and/or the intensity of a game played by a sports team, such as the Super Bowl, can trigger cardiovascular deaths.

It also happens at passionate soccer matches in Great Britain. These studies were on men; “no increase was observed in women.” The San Francisco 49ers have won five Super Bowls; the Kansas City Chiefs have won three. Both organizations have talented players and are proud of their football tradition. The most viewed Super Bowl in history was the 2023 Super Bowl.

Over 110 million people watched the KC Chiefs defeat the Philadelphia Eagles. The halftime show recorded an audience of 124 million people. This is the only game where commercials are part of the entertainment value as people and media rate these commercial gems, some just produced specially for this one game.

CBS Network, Ch 5 in the Bay Area, will carry the game from Allegiant Stadium Super Bowl LVIII is scheduled to begin at 3:30 PM Las Vegas and West Coast time. TV prices for a 30-second ad cost between $6.5 million to $7 million, according to sources familiar with sales at CBS network.

Enjoy the game, and do not have a heart attack; it is not worth it; life is too short to die on the one-yard line; remember the old cliche, “It is only a game.” (Quote) “That’s the biggest gap in sports, the difference between the winner and the loser of the Super Bowl.” -John Madden.
