“…We have read with great interest the paper “Acute effects of energy drink on hemodynamic and electrophysiologic parameters in habitual and non-habitual caffeine consumers” by Caliskan SG and coworkers [ 1 ] and we found it of importance with a view to cardiovascular prevention in young people. This study evaluated the acute hemodynamic and electrophysiological effects of energy drink (EDs) on habitual and non-habitual caffeine consumers.…”
The present letter to editor comments the manuscript "Caliskan SG, Kilic MA, Bilgin MD. Acute effects of energy drink on hemodynamic and electrophysiologic parameters in habitual and non-habitual caffeine consumers.
“…Caffeine is known to be addictive and regular coffee users report withdrawal symptoms [ 7 ]. A recent manuscript explores the effects of EDs consumption on hemodynamic parameters [ 8 ]. The study also reports that as addiction increases, the hemodynamic effect of ED decreases.…”
