How does playing video games affect your heart?
I'm helping my sister write a paper for her college class. She's doing the pros and cons of video games. We would reallllly appreciate all the information you could provide us with. The main question we need to know is how playing video games can affect your heart? Mainly how it could damage it. But we will be happy with any other information you can give 
Thank you!
Just search on the different factors that affect the heart rate, and blood pressure.
Much of it is due to adrenaline. When you are stimulated with a video game, it sends signals to your brain to speed up your heart and increase your blood pressure so your brain gets more blood and you become more alert for your game. Consider video games to be an emergency you have to be alert for. Fight or flight. It's the body's basic instinct for survival.
I'm just trying to explain it in simpler terms so you know what you're looking for. You can get a much better explanation if you know what to search for online. Sure heart attacks can be a part of it. As the heart is stressed out by a precipitating event, (getting mad, emotional) it can suffer a heart attack too. You can pretty much make up a whole lot of things if you just search risk factors for heart disease. If you're creative, you can link obesity, videogames and heart problems together. I can go on but I'm sure you already got the picture.
More pros: You can also do videogames as a sort of therapeutic pain regimen, as an effective diversion for chronic or acute pain management. It's a totally different topic. But I find this one quite interesting because not a lot of people are aware of this. If you want more input, my husband is doing this as part of his therapy.
As a con, videogamers are apt to be lazy. They will not cook or care about their hygiene and settle for cup of noodles to stay alive. Relationships also tend to suffer as they become addicted to the videogame of choice and let everything else (job, health, family) fall apart. Think of it as an addiction, much like any substance such as alcohol, drugs and cigarettes.
