A cardiologist warns that for people with irregular heartbeats, caffeine intake can cause serious and sometimes fatal heart attacks.
Specialist Dr. Aidar Sharafiev explained in an interview with a Russian newspaper that drinking coffee does not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. But in some people, caffeine can lead to an acute heart attack in the short term, but it can sometimes be fatal.
And he adds, the view of doctors and scientists on the negative effects of coffee on the heart has changed several times in recent years. According to the latest data, coffee and tea do not have a negative effect on the heart: cardiovascular diseases do not manifest themselves and are not aggravated.
He continued, saying, “There are people whose bodies take caffeine easily — they can drink coffee and go to sleep. But for others, the caffeine gets ‘processed’ slowly and poorly in their digestive system, so that their heart rate increases.” when they drink any beverage containing caffeine, so they can’t sleep.” They should stop consuming such drinks. This particularly includes people who have a tendency to have irregular heartbeats. Their acute exposure to caffeine for a short time can cause a severe and sometimes fatal attack.”
