@lindy9 there have been some recent studies which conclude that caffeine is an Afib preventer. Sorta counterintuitive after all the years of drs pushing me to cut back on coffee to reduce
Don’t trust my word check it out.

@chickenfarmer I can tell you in my own experience, with a long history of paroxysmal SVT, A-flutter and A-fib, I've never noticed any of these occurring when I drink coffee. I generally have two cups in the morning, and occasionally after dinner if we have a dessert that needs coffee with it. I guess it varies among individuals, but that is my experience.

@chickenfarmer I would say they are promoted by the sellers of coffee. I do not need to check anything out. I had SEVERE afib from age 14 to 21. A DOCTOR in the newspaper said some people are EXTREMELY sensitive to caffeine. I reduced mine from about 4 cups to 1/2 cup and still had problems. BUT when I ELIMINATED it, I rarely had a problem for a couple seconds. In the past for several minutes to hours or overnight. I am now 77 yrs old.
