“…Berger and Alford (4) reported a young patient who suffered anteroseptal myocardial infarction after consuming seven or eight boxes of ED. In a similar case, a 24 year old patient who suffered ST segment elevation after drinking 20 boxes of ED was reported dead after entering into ventricular fibrillation during a primary percutaneous coronary attempt (5). There are case presentations mentioning about secondary ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac deaths caused by consumption of ED.…”

“…In an invasive electrophysiology study performed on humans, the researchers correlated shortening of refracting period of right atrium, atrio-ventricular node and right ventricular by caffeine to the catecolamine discharge (1). In short, a high dose of caffeine may increase work burden of the heart and arterial tension levels and cause supraventricular/ventricular arrhythmias and cardiac incidents (3,4,5). It is also stated that certain people may be more sensitive and genetically more susceptible to arrhythmias than others.…”

“…Elgondolkodtató, hogy az ÁNTSZ kérdőíve alapján a szülők döntő többsége tud gyermekük energiaitalfogyasztásáról és mintegy harmada nem ellenzi azt [2]. Az energiaitalok nagyfokú fogyasztása mellett több esetben szívmegállást [5,6,7], illetve myocardialis infarctust [8,9,10,11] állapítottak meg fi atal egyéneknél. …”
