Heart failure: Moderate coffee consumption linked with reduced risk of HF

Nature Reviews Cardiology volume 9, page 492 (2012)Cite this article

Subjects

A meta-analysis of five prospective cohort studies has shown a J-shaped relationship between coffee consumption and risk of heart failure (HF). Four Scandinavian-sized servings of coffee per day (which the investigators suggest might be equivalent to a little more than two US-sized servings) had the strongest inverse association with risk of HF. However, the investigators warn that consumption of more than 10 Scandinavian-sized servings per day might be associated with increased risk of HF. They also point out that their findings did not take into account the strength of brew.
