Abstract:
The most well-known type of cardiovascular arrhythmia in the United States and worldwide is atrial fibrillation (AF). Generally, 2.3 million individuals are determined to have AF in the United States. Energy drinks contain caffeine, taurine, theophylline, and sugars that enhance alertness. Consumption of energy drinks is mounting in the young population and has been associated with AF, regardless of the lack of conclusive evidence in the literature. This is a case report of a 22-year-old male without any significant cardiac history who was diagnosed with AF following intake of energy drinks.
