A cardiologist warns that people with irregular heartbeats, caffeine intake can cause severe and sometimes fatal heart attacks.
The specialist, Dr. Aidar Sharafiev, said in an interview with a Russian newspaper that drinking coffee does not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. But caffeine in some people can lead to an acute, short-term heart attack, but sometimes it can be fatal.
And he adds, the view of doctors and scientists on the negative effects of coffee on the heart has changed several times over the past few years. According to the latest data, coffee and tea do not have a negative effect on the heart – cardiovascular disease does not appear from this and is not exacerbated.
He continued, saying: “There are people whose body receives caffeine easily – they can drink coffee and go to sleep. But for others, caffeine is “processed” slowly and badly in their digestive system, so that their heart rate increases when they drink any caffeinated drink, so they cannot sleep. “They should stop consuming such drinks. This especially includes people who have a tendency to have irregular heartbeats. Their acute exposure to caffeine for a short period can cause a severe and sometimes fatal attack.”
