Key result
≥2 daily cups of coffee linked to ~95% lower all-cause mortality in ischemic heart failure.
Why the study?
Dietary patterns may play an important role in the prognosis of heart failure.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Dietary patterns may play an important role in the prognosis of heart failure. METHODS: Dietary habits, sleeping habits, physical activity and anxiety and depression status were recorded in 326 patients (90 females, mean age 73.45 ± 10.9 years) with ischemic heart failure prospectively followed for 30 months. RESULTS: Lower ΗADS-depression scores (p = 0.03), a low-fat meat diet (p = 0.035) and moderate coffee consumption (p = 0.005) were associated with better prognosis. Non-significant differences were recorded in outcomes with regard to consumption of other dietary categories. CONCLUSIONS: A balanced diet as well as emphasis on the treatment of depression may improve outcomes in ischemic heart failure.

Σαλούρου et al. (2019) conducted a cohort in Ischemic heart failure (n=326). Coffee consumption vs. < 2 cups/day was evaluated on Death from any cause (OR 0.054, 95% CI 0.007-0.424, p=0.005). Consumption of two or more cups of coffee per day was associated with a significantly lower risk of death from any cause (OR 0.054) in patients with ischemic heart failure.
