After cardioversion in AF, continued caffeinated coffee consumption vs. abstinence reduced AF or atrial flutter recurrence at 6 mo

Key Result

Continued caffeinated coffee consumption after cardioversion in AF reduced AF or atrial flutter recurrence compared to abstinence at 6 months.

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the effects of continued caffeinated coffee consumption versus abstinence on the recurrence of atrial fibrillation after cardioversion.
• Follow-up at 6 months post-cardioversion
• Comparison of recurrence rates between coffee consumers and abstainers
• Statistical analysis of recurrence outcomes
• Caffeinated coffee consumption is associated with reduced recurrence of atrial fibrillation or flutter
• Abstinence from coffee correlates with higher recurrence rates
• Findings indicate a possible protective effect of caffeinated coffee
