, people with atrial fibrillation who habitually drank black coffee every morning experienced fewer heart rhythm episodes than those who stopped or did not drink coffee at all.
The study involved 200 people with atrial fibrillation.The study tries to refute the notion that coffee can trigger abnormal heartbeats.
“This is exciting because there is now evidence that consuming around one cup of coffee per day is safe and potentially beneficial,” said lead author of the study from Adelaide Medical School, Christopher X Wong.
