Adnkronos Rome, May 17 (Adnkronos Salute) – "Any situation of significant emotional stress, and we also saw it with the Champions League match between Inter and Barcelona, can determine effects on the cardiovascular system with unfavorable events such as arrhythmias or increased blood pressure. Furthermore, subjects with existing cardiovascular diseases or who have excessive coronary spasm can encounter even more serious events.
Coronary spasm in certain conditions can in fact lead to serious arrhythmia and heart attack. In Inter-Barcelona, as in the match of the century Italy-Germany that ended 4-3, that level of emotional stress causes adrenaline and cortisol discharges to the stars, arrhythmias and even fatal cardiovascular events". This is what Domenico Gabrielli, president of the Foundation for Your Heart, told Adnkronos Salute, on the sidelines of the 56th Congress of the National Association of Hospital Cardiologists (Anmco) that ends today in Rimini.
"The advice for the excited fans is to try to stay calm and not get carried away by emotion", recommends Gabrielli who, regarding the finals of the Rome International, featuring Jasmine Paolini who this afternoon faces the American Coco Gauff, and Jannik Sinner tomorrow evening against the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, specifies and reassures: "Tennis does not trigger emotional reactions like football, there is nothing to fear".
