A Rapid Method to Evaluate Cardiac Repolarization Changes: The Effect of Two Coffee Strengths on the QT Interval

Abstract: Objectives: To assess the effect of coffee on ventricular repolarization as measured by an electrocardiogram. Methods: Fifty-four healthy volunteers (34 males and 20 females, age 23 ± 5 years) received 1 cup of coffee (caffeine content 120 mg) and 11 participants received 2 cups. Blood pressure and heart rate were measured prior to coffee and every hour thereafter for 5 h. A 12-lead digital Holter recorded continuously, and RR, QT, and QTc intervals were obtained every 30 min. Results: Following coffee, RR inc… Show more

“…However, the amplitude of the P-and T-wave had decreased. In another research paper, QTc interval was used to evaluate the changes in the electrocardiography and detect whether caffeine results in cardiac arrhythmias [52,53]. This is because the QTc prolongation is an indicator of increased cardiac risk.…”
