Abstract
AbstractAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia in the United States and worldwide. Caffeine, alcohol, and, more recently, energy drinks are the most commonly consumed beverages in daily living, especially by young individuals. Several questions have been raised about the implications of caffeine, alcohol, and energy drinks in cardiovascular health, especially in triggering AF. This review focuses on the role of these commonly consumed beverages as a cause of AF, with special emphasis of potential mechanisms and studies addressing this issue.
