I am a coffee drinker, but no longer drink fully caffeinated coffee. I searched and found a coffee that goes through the Swiss water process which removes 99.9% of the caffeine. It tases milder but it's not a bad taste. I like it. I don't like AF so I'm not willing to take the chance that regular of even traditional decaf coffee could send me into AF.

I've been drinking more black tea in the morning rather than coffee as it's a smooth way to wake up. I still drink coffee have just been not wanting it in the mornings like I commonly do. With the weather changing to warmer temperatures I will turn to cold brew black tea with lemon in my 20 ounce mug

Does drinking coffee affect heart rhythm problems?

Recent research has challenged older advice about coffee and heart conditions. Studies now show that moderate coffee consumption doesn't increase the risk of heart rhythm problems for most people with heart disease.

In fact, drinking caffeinated coffee and tea in moderation is generally considered safe for people with heart conditions. The key word here is "moderation" - which typically means a reasonable amount per day.

What should you do?

Talk with your doctor about how much caffeine is appropriate for your specific situation. Everyone's heart condition is different, and your healthcare provider can give you personalized guidance based on your medical history and current heart health.

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam member shared that their doctor confirmed coffee doesn't raise the risk for heart rhythm problems, which aligns with current research findings.

If you're experiencing any unusual symptoms after consuming coffee, it's worth discussing with your cardiologist to find what works best for you.
