Can videogames trigger a heart attack?
Recently I've diagnosed with some heart problems and they have recommended me to avoid getting excited.
I recall that when I played Tarkov my pulse could get above 120 beats per minute in certain situaciones. I wanted to install Tarkov but I'm curious if there is a real risk.

Yes. I'm dealing with managing high blood pressure, and my cardiologist temporarily had me stop all exercise. I specifically asked about videogames (Rainbow Six Siege gets my pulse up) and was told that this counts. Better safe than sorry until your heart problems get sorted out.
This exactly.
I don't play Fortnite any more for the same reasons.
Tarkov is probably one of the worst possible games for this.
