Drinking just one energy drink may increase the risk of a heart attack, according to a new study.
Researchers at the McGovern Medical School at UTHealth in Houston studied 44 medical students.
Each healthy, non-smoking student drank one 24-ounce energy drink.
After one and a half hours, the researchers checked their artery flow and dilation.
Vessel dilation fell from 5.1% to 2.8% diameter, “suggesting acute impairment” in function.
This kind of dysfunction is known to increase risk of cardiac events, such as heart attacks.
