attacks outside hospital were 60% higher during the World Cup compared
to the same period in 2001.
Research published in the British Medical Journal found that heart
attacks increased by 25% when England lost to Argentina in a penalty
shoot-out during the 1998 World Cup.

Facts About Heart Attacks:
- 50% of all heart attacks are fatal.
- 50% of all heart attack victims had no prior evidence of heart
disease.
- Most people who die of hear attacks die within 2 hours after the
symptoms appear.
- A majority of heart attack victims ignore the warning signs and don’t
call for help. This denial often results in death.
10 Ways to Avoid Heart Attacks During the Super Bowl:
1. Exercise before the game and again during halftime. Short bursts of
activity are more helpful – 5 to 10 minutes of physical activity is
ideal. Stretching, jumping rope or throwing the football with your
friends are simple and easy ways to relax your body and mind before the
big game.
2. Take CoQ10 before the game: Co-enzyme Q 10 is a powerful anti-oxidant
that reduces your risk of heart disease.
3. Avoid an excess of alcohol and tobacco: Over consumption of these two
potentially dangerous substances are leading risk factors for sudden
cardiac arrest.
4. Eat in moderation: Many heart attacks are reported to occur after
eating an exceptionally large meal.
5. Eat a healthy balance of foods: Avoid binging on chips and pizza.
Over consumption of salty and fatty foods increases your risk of heart
attack.
6. Don’t allow yourself to become overly excited: Focus on having fun
and realize that the Super Bowl is not a life or death situation.
7. Don’t become focused on the game to the exclusion of all else: During
the commercials, take a break. Getting off the couch, moving around and
talking to friends will help break up the intensity of an exciting game.
8. Manage your anger: If the official makes a bad call, don’t take it
personally. Excess anger and yelling at the TV will increase your
chances of heart problems.
9. Avoid gambling: Excess adrenaline caused by excitement, worry or
excess anxiety increases your risk of heart attack. (If you do gamble,
only wager an amount you’re comfortable losing.)
10. Pay attention to the warning signs: If you experience the warning
signs of heart attack – dizziness, chest pain, trouble breathing, nausea
– get medical attention immediately.

2. Hyperventilation
3. Alcohol-related Seizures
