AF and caffeine: Boost/energy/high caffeine drinks are not recommended in patients with af. Occasional drinks with caffeine like coffee and soda usually do not trigger af but must be observed for individual responses. If they trigger af - then need to avoid.

no: Generally speaking the high levels of caffeine will promote increased conduction of the very rapid top chamber rhythm to the bottom chamber of them, leading to palpitations and increased heart rates. Over the long term, this can result in significant cardiac dysfunction.
