The Steinbeck team includes: Ute Wilbert-Lampen, David Leistner, Sonja Greven, Tilmann Pohl, Sebastian Sper, Christoph Völker, Denise Güthlin, Andrea Plasse, Andreas Knez, and Helmut Küchenhoff.
Studying 4,279 patients, they found increased frequencies of heart attacks, cardiac arrests, episodes of irregular heartbeat, and activations of automatic implanted defibrillators when watching sporting events where the viewers are emotionally involved.
The researchers found an increase of such problems during the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) World Cup competition in Germany from June 9 to July 9, 2006.
