A Randomized Controlled Trial to Assess Abstinence of Coffee Compared to Continued Consumption on Recurrent Atrial Fibrillation Following Cardioversion
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Consume coffee and Avoid coffee for Atrial Fibrillation and Coffee. Completed, enrolled 200 participants across 3 sites in 3 countries.
Detailed Summary
Given both the increasing population impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) and the widespread consumption of coffee in society, determining an associated benefit or risk of coffee consumption on AF is of great clinical relevance. This study will evaluate the effect of randomly assigning participants undergoing cardioversion to coffee abstinence or coffee continuation over a 6 month period. This study will provide the first, randomized evaluation of coffee on AF outcomes and will provide important information on whether or not coffee has any effect on AF recurrence.
