咖啡因摄入与房颤发生关系的研究进展

Recent research advances in the relationship between caffeine intake and atrial fibrillation

心房颤动(简称房颤)是临床常见的心律失常之一。房颤的发生会使脑卒中和心力衰竭的发生风险大大增加,具有很高的致死、致残性。由于人口老龄化的加剧,冠心病、高血压等心血管疾病的高发,人们生活方式的改变,房颤的患病率也在逐年增加。咖啡作为世界上广泛饮用的饮品之一,已影响着现代人的日常生活。咖啡中主要成分咖啡因的摄入影响房颤的发生。但目前两者之间的关系尚存在争议。多数研究认为,咖啡因的摄入与房颤的发生呈负相关。该文就目前国内外对咖啡因的摄入与房颤发生的关系研究进行综述。

Atrial fibrillation is one of common arrhythmias and can significantly increase risks of stroke and heart failure with high rates of mortality and disability. The incidence of atrial fibrillation increases year by year due to aging population, high incidences of coronary heart disease and hypertension, and lifestyle changes. As one of widely consumed drinks in the world, coffee affects the daily life of modem people. The intake of caffeine, which is the main ingredient of coffee, can influence the incidence of atrial fibrillation, but the relationship between them is still controversial. Most studies deem that the intake of caffeine is negatively correlated with the incidence of atrial fibrillation. This paper reviews current studies in China and abroad on the relationship between the intake of caffeine and the incidence of atrial fibrillation.
