In this small RCT of #coffee vs no ☕️ post AF cardioversion - w/ some between-group diffs in baseline characteristics, modest ☕️ intake in ☕️ group, & clinical follow-up/investigations at the discretion of regular physicians - ☕️ intake appeared to ⬇️ #AF recurrence. #AHA25
☕❤️ Coffee lovers, rejoice! A new RCT puts the controversy to bed? Caffeinated coffee may reduce rather than trigger atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence. Among 200 adults post-cardioversion for AF or atrial flutter: ➡️ 1 cup/day of caffeinated coffee ↓ AF recurrence by 39%
