Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Ryder Heart is an exploratory study of the heart rate variations of golf fans during the 2018 edition of the Ryder Cup. The main objective is to evaluate the impact of stress and strong emotions on heart rate variations and the occurrence of rhythmic anomalies in golf fans during this high-level golf competition. Such data are actually poorly described in medical and scientific literature.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In 1996, a Dutch research team highlighted, for the first time, a strong statistical relationship between the outcome of a football match and cardiovascular mortality in men over 45 years of age. An excess mortality was reported among football fans on June 22nd 1996, day of the elimination of the Dutch by the French team during the penalty shoot-out of the European Champions League. A more recent study by Ute Wilbert-Lampen et al., confirmed the relationship between football matches of the 2006 World Cup and the occurrence of cardiovascular events such as rhythm disorders and coronary syndromes among football fans. Two factors favoring increased cardiovascular risk appear to emerge from these different studies: high-level football matches (most often played at home) and strong support and passion for one's sports team. However, the physiopathological mechanisms involved have not been fully understood yet. In addition, very little data exists on sports other than football. The investigators research hypothesis is that cardiovascular events induced by the passion of a sports fan could not be unique to only one sport. The Ryder Cup, one of the biggest sporting events in the world, is the ideal event to collect consolidation elements for the investigators hypothesis.

The main phase of the Ryder Heart study will take place during the Ryder Cup from the 28th till the 30th of September 2018.

ECG Holter SpiderFlash-t

Record at visit V0 (day without match) and the competition days (Visit V1, V2 et V3) during the matches the heart rate of the golf fans.

SpiderFlash-t™ from MicroPort is a long-lasting event recorder set in walking position by the investigator the day of the record and it is activated by detecting rhythm anomalies. This recorder is a Class IIA medical device (according to European Economic Community Directive 93/42). It benefits from European Economic marking.

Intervention Type DEVICE

Actigraph GT3Xp

Record the study participant's physical activity while we record his heart rate.

The GT3Xp based activity monitors provide objective measurements of human activity and are used in many research and clinical applications. It includes a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) based accelerometer and an ambient light sensor. It benefits from CE marking and FDA agreement (Class II medical device).
