I have paroxysmal afib. After my third episode, the doctor told me to quit consuming caffeine. Before quitting caffeine, I had an episode every 2 years. After quitting caffeine, I had an episode every 2 years. So I believe the statement that coffee is not associated with higher incidence of afib (at least in the general case... as the article states, your mileage may vary). One the other hand, I find that dark chocolate has more negative heart effects: I associate dark chocolate, maybe unfairly, with premature beats (several 1000s per day). For that reason, I've avoided dark chocolate, which I love, for almost 25 years. |
