Coffee can affect your heart rate

This is an automatically translated article.


Coffee has many effects on the central nervous system as well as the functioning of the heart. Normally, most people drink coffee with tachycardia and the extent of this varies between individuals. Accordingly, whether coffee increases heart rate depends on various factors including the amount of coffee consumed, the frequency of drinking, the person's physical condition and physiological function.

1. How does coffee affect arrhythmias?


If you are a coffee drinker, people may worry about how drinking coffee increases heart rate as well as how daily coffee habits affect heart health. Because coffee is a stimulant, people can often think of it as a stressor, especially if they are prone to irregular heartbeats known as arrhythmias. However, for a long time, doctors did not think that coffee was also good for the heart until the results of studies are changing the old notion.
Several studies have been conducted to specifically look at coffee's effect on increasing heart rate. Accordingly, the results of one study showed that cases of cardiac arrhythmias did not differ between people who consumed caffeine in general (namely coffee, tea, and chocolate) and those who did not consume caffeine.
In a small Brazilian study, participants with heart rhythm problems were randomly assigned to drink caffeinated or decaffeinated beverages, and then assessed by electrocardiograms and tests. exertion. Surprisingly, the researchers found no difference in irregular heart rhythms between the two groups.
Therefore, the key point about the role of drinking coffee with tachycardia or irregular heartbeat is to change.

2. The effects of coffee on overall heart health


Recent research, including one from the University of Southern California, has found a link between coffee drinking and longevity. Studies also show a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease in coffee drinkers, making coffee a real heart-healthy factor.
However, what about caffeine's role in all of this? While many studies find benefits of coffee, many of these benefits occur whether the coffee is caffeinated or decaffeinated. There may be something else in coffee that promotes health. Or, there may be another confounding factor influencing the results - after all, these studies only demonstrate an association, not cause and effect.
On the other hand, a study presented at the American Heart Association conference provided a mechanism for how caffeine itself might improve heart health. Thereby, the habit of drinking a cup of coffee a day will significantly improve blood flow between small blood vessels, helping the heart not to work too hard.

3. The effects of caffeine to consider


Although research does not currently support a link between caffeine, rather than caffeine in general, and heart arrhythmias, if you find yourself with caffeine that seems to worsen your cardiovascular condition, consider cutting it out. reduction.
In fact, there are patients who may be sensitive to caffeine and find that drinking coffee produces palpitations. Therefore, patients with palpitations that are aggravated by caffeine exposure should cut back on the frequency and amount of caffeine they drink. In contrast, if it weren't for coffee drinking, tachycardia , people with this arrhythmia had no evidence of being affected by caffeine and could still continue to consume coffee in moderation. However, in general, from a heart health perspective, doctors often recommend that patients stay away from high energy drinks, especially when they contain very high caffeine content. And coffee is a good example, besides there are soft drinks, energy drinks or sports drinks.
On the other hand, feeling an irregular heartbeat or it may feel like an irregular or fast heartbeat, this is a cause for concern as it could mean that the heart is not working properly. Specifically a sign of heart disease, including coronary artery disease or cardiomyopathy. At this time, the patient needs another visit soon at the cardiologist. Echocardiography and electrocardiography are prerequisite tools for disease detection and diagnosis, and long-term treatment planning. Dangerous arrhythmias, which run in families, in subjects at high risk for comorbidities, when delayed in detection, can lead to serious events, including sudden death. by heart.
In summary, drinking coffee has a rapid heart rate so far there is no clear evidence. However, for those who are concerned about coffee increasing heart rate or have ever experienced symptoms such as lightheadedness or dizziness, increased heart rate, temporary nervousness when drinking coffee, they should avoid it. On the other hand, drinking more than two cups of coffee per day should also be considered, not only for people with increased heart rate, but to avoid the risks caused by excessive caffeine consumption.
