Typically people with heart disturbances, or abnormal heart rhythms, are advised to avoid caffeinated coffee. However, a new study showed that moderate coffee consumption may actually reduce the risk of being hospitalized for heart rhythm problems. People from the study who reported four or more cups a day had an almost 18% reduction in the risk of being hospitalized for heart rhythm disturbances.

Experts have widely known that very large doses of caffeine, coffee’s most active ingredient, are linked with heart rhythm disturbances; less research has been done on that effect of typical or more moderate daily coffee intake.

The findings of this study are scheduled to be presented at this week’s American Heart Association’s 50th Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention in San Francisco.
