Energy drink intake linked to sudden cardiac events in patients with heart genetic disorders

By Tarun Sai LomteJun 10 2024Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in Heart Rhythm, researchers evaluated temporal associations between energy drink consumption and the risk of cardiac events among patients with genetic heart diseases .

Studies have suggested a potential correlation between high caffeine intake and sudden cardiac arrests . GHD patients already exhibit a higher SCA risk. Sentinel events occurred pre-diagnosis, whereas BCEs occurred after event diagnosis and treatment initiation. Medical records were accessed for data on demographics, clinical characteristics, energy drink consumption, and its temporal relationship with SCA. Overall, 144 SCA survivors were identified; 73 were female.

Different energy drinks were consumed, and their caffeine content ranged between 80 mg and > 200 mg per serving. One patient required manual resuscitation, and six required a rescue shock. The patient was diagnosed with IVF and discharged with ICD and nadolol. The third case was a male aged 20 who regularly consumed energy drinks before working out.
