Energy Drinks Lift Blood Pressure, Heart Rate

March 26, 2009: 01:32 AM EST
Energy drinks could be harmful for people with high blood pressure or heart disease, says James Kalus, Pharm.D., senior manager of Patient Care Services at Henry Ford Hospital. Dr. Kalus was lead author of a study of 15 healthy adults that showed heart rates and blood pressure were higher after they consumed the beverages. This indicated that people with hypertension and heart problems should avoid the drinks, Dr. Kalus said. Most energy drinks contain similar amounts of caffeine to one or two cups of coffee. Study participants drank two cans of energy drink daily.
