Your football team loses a match: You may suffer a heart attack

Lost football games may trigger heart attacks in male fans, according to research presented today on EAPC Essentials 4 You, a scientific platform of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). 'Our study shows that poor results from the local professional football team coincided with more heart attacks in male residents,' said study author Dr. Lukasz Kuzma of the Medical University of Bialystok, Poland. 'The findings suggest that the mental and emotional stress of defeat can provoke cardiac events.'
