I wonder what the numbers needed to treat would be if we offered prn propranolol for people at highest risk??

I think we all know the archetype - middle to older aged men who live and die by every play, especially during football games.

It would also be interesting to parse the numbers in these studies by subjects coincidentally on beta blockers for hypertension versus not.

I'm thinking I'll try this the next time I'm really invested in a team winning... which is pretty much my daughter's middle school basketball team since I find professional sports much too commercial anymore!

Any studies on Brazil? That country is heavily invested. On the day they lost, I was on a zoom with a friend in Brazil who was explaining it to me. People were literally in streets and bars crying.
