A previous analysis from Los Angeles showed that death rates increased among hometown fans after losing the Super Bowl in 1980 and decreased after a win in 1984. Data are unavailable in the era of drug-eluting stents, dual antiplatelet therapy, statins, and modern medical therapy.
Two high drama and intense Super Bowls were analyzed: NYC beat New England (Massachusetts) in 2008 and Pittsburgh defeated Arizona in 2009. Daily death certificate data were obtained. The case period included eight consecutive days beginning Super Bowl day. The control period included eight consecutive days beginning Super Bowl day in non-case period Super Bowls from 2005 to 2009.
After Massachusetts' defeat, circulatory deaths increased by 20 % (p = 0.0004) and ischemic heart disease deaths increased by 24 % (p = 0.01) in Massachusetts. After Pittsburgh's victory circulatory deaths decreased by 25 % (p = 0.046), ischemic heart disease deaths decreased by 31 % (p = 0.03), and myocardial infarction deaths decreased by 46 % (p = 0.01) in Pittsburgh. Cardiovascular death rates did not change in Arizona (all p > 0.19). Massachusetts and Pittsburgh show stronger support for their home teams compared with Arizona.
A Super Bowl with high drama/intensity can be associated with changes in cardiovascular death rates among a fan base with a strong attachment to the team even in the contemporary era. An increase in death rates can be associated with a loss and a decrease in death rates can be associated with a win.
洛杉矶的一项先前分析表明，1980 年超级碗比赛失利后，主场球迷的死亡率上升，而 1984 年获胜后则下降。在药物洗脱支架、双联抗血小板治疗、他汀类药物和现代医学治疗时代，数据不可用。
分析了两场高戏剧性和激烈的超级碗比赛：2008 年迈阿密击败新英格兰（马萨诸塞州），2009 年匹兹堡击败亚利桑那。获取每日死亡证明数据。病例期包括超级碗日开始后的连续 8 天。对照组包括 2005 年至 2009 年非病例期超级碗日开始后的连续 8 天。
在马萨诸塞州失利后，马萨诸塞州的循环系统死亡人数增加了 20%（p=0.0004），缺血性心脏病死亡人数增加了 24%（p=0.01）。在匹兹堡队获胜后，循环系统死亡人数下降了 25%（p=0.046），缺血性心脏病死亡人数下降了 31%（p=0.03），心肌梗死死亡人数下降了 46%（p=0.01）。亚利桑那州的心血管死亡率没有变化（p>0.19）。与亚利桑那州相比，马萨诸塞州和匹兹堡州的球迷对其主队的支持更为强烈。
即使在当代，一场具有高戏剧性/强度的超级碗比赛也可能与球迷群体中与球队紧密联系的心血管死亡率变化相关，死亡率的增加可能与失败有关，而死亡率的下降可能与胜利有关。
