Case of heart failure in young man potentially linked to energy drinks

Case of heart failure in young man potentially linked to energy drinks | Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard

A 21-year old university student developed heart failure after “excessive” consumption of energy drinks, a new article in a leading medical journal suggests. The man drank four 500ml energy drinks a day for two years before he needed hospital treatment for heart failure, according to a new BMJ Case Report. The university student required intensive care treatment and was so ill that medics were considering whether he needed an organ transplant. He sought care after suffering for four months with shortness of breath and weight loss. Blood tests, scans, and ECG readings revealed that he had both heart and kidney failure – with the kidney failure linked to a long standing and previously undiagnosed condition.
