American researchers warn: energy drinks can cause high blood pressure, which is fraught with negative consequences for the body.

Experts analyzed data from seven studies not published previously to identify the effects of energy drinks on heart health and vascular health.. They studied in ninety-seven people between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years the QT interval - the portion of the cardiogram that is responsible for the stability of the electric field of the heart. Before the cardiogram, the subjects drank 1 to 3 bottles of energy. As it was discovered later, the mentioned interval was ten seconds longer for those who consumed these drinks.

According to scientists, an increase in the QT interval can cause not only heart problems, but also sudden death.

Sachin Shah, who is the author of this study, comments on him as follows: “Doctors are usually worried if patients have an extended QT interval of 30 milliseconds from the original.

The fact that energy drinks lengthen the QT interval and can cause sudden cardiac death requires further study. ”.

The researchers also found that the subjects' systolic blood pressure increased by an average of 3.5 mm RT. st.

Therefore, lovers of energy drinks should think about the possible consequences of their systematic intake if they do not want to face such problems as hypertension, arrhythmia and heart attack in the future.
