Link Between Energy Drinks and Heart Disease Risk Found

A recent study presented to the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2007 has found a link between consumption of energy drinks and high blood pressure and heart disease risk. Researchers found healthy adults who drank two cans of a popular energy drink a day had above normal blood pressure and heart rate. Though the observed heart rate and blood pressure increases were not dangerous for healthy volunteers, the results suggest that there could be dangers for patients with heart disease. Energy drinks differ from sports drinks because they contain high levels of caffeine and taurine to increase "energy levels" or alertness. Similar to caffeine, taurine has been shown to increase blood pressure and heart rate.


During the study, researchers required 15 healthy young adult volunteers to have their blood pressure and heart rate measured. The volunteers then drank two energy drinks, containing 80 milligrams of caffeine and 1,000 milligrams of taurine, each day for 7 days. The results showed that within 4 hours of consuming the energy drink, the maximum systolic blood pressure rose 7.9 percent on day 1 and 9.6 percent on day 7. Heart rate was found to increase 7.8 percent on day 1 and 11 percent on day seven.


Additionally, over the duration of the study, heart rates went up between 5 and 7 beats per minute. Head researcher, Dr. James Kalus, claims, "While energy drinks increase concentration and wakefulness, people with risk factors for heart disease could have a bad reaction. The subjects in this study were healthy with low blood pressure."


Researchers were unsure what effect combining exercise with energy drinks might have. They warned that blood pressure and heart rate naturally rises with exercise and energy drinks could raise their levels even further.
