Drinking up to three cups of tea or coffee per day could protect people from developing irregular heartbeats or arrhythmia, a new study revealed on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world and the most common form of cognitive enhancement.<\/p>\n

However, more than 80 per cent of clinicians in the United States recommend patients with palpitations or arrhythmia to abstain or reduce caffeine.<\/p>\n

But the new study which involved researchers in the University of Melbourne\u2019s Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute along with partners in the United States consistently demonstrated a reduction in atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeats) with increasing levels of caffeine ingestion.<\/p>\n

The research analysed multiple population-based studies which involved 228,465 participants to find the frequency of atrial fibrillation decreased by six per cent in regular coffee drinkers, while a further analysis of 115,993 patients showed a risk reduction of 13 per cent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a public perception, often based on anecdotal experience, that caffeine is a common acute trigger for heart rhythm problems,\u2019\u2019 lead author Peter Kistler from the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute said.<\/p>

\u201cOur extensive review of the medical literature suggests this is not the case.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cCaffeinated beverages such as coffee and tea may have long term anti-arrhythmic properties mediated by antioxidant effects and antagonism of adenosine,\u2019\u2019 Kistler concluded.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn numerous population-based studies, patients who regularly consume coffee and tea at moderate levels have a lower lifetime risk of developing heart rhythm problems and possibly improved survival.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

However, due to significantly higher concentrations of caffeine, researchers advised that energy drinks should be avoided for people with pre-existing structural heart disease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
