Abstract

The increasing consumption of energy drinks among young adults has raised concerns due to potential cardiac health risks. This study reviewed the literature to investigate these impacts, considering that this age group is in a crucial phase for maintaining cardiovascular health. Using the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, studies addressing the cardiovascular effects of energy drinks, such as increased heart rate and blood pressure, as well as adverse cardiac events, were selected. The main findings indicate that components such as caffeine and taurine have significant effects on the cardiovascular system. Caffeine can increase blood pressure and heart rate, while taurine can exacerbate these effects, especially at high doses. The review highlights the need for greater awareness of the risks of regular consumption of these drinks and suggests the implementation of clearer guidelines and stricter regulations. This study contributes to a better understanding of the risks associated with energy drink consumption, providing a solid basis for future research and public health policies. Promoting safe consumption practices and establishing effective regulations are crucial to protecting the cardiac health of young adults and preventing future complications.
