Often referred to as “Super Bowl Spike” in the medical community due to the increase in heart attacks, especially in the host city for those attending the game as well as those watching from home particularly if the game is close, cardiologist, Nicholas Ruthmann, of the Cleveland Clinic, says, “Those who have high blood pressure, those with high cholesterol, diabetes, if you smoke, if you drink too much, you’re overweight, [all] of that can come together and form a perfect storm and increase your risk on the big day of the big game.”
