@dr.alejandro_cathlab: For decades, patients with cardiovascular disease were told to avoid coffee. The latest 2026 American Heart Association Scientific Statement paints a much more nuanced picture. The evidence suggests that moderate coffee consumption (3–5 cups/day) is associated with a lower risk of coronary artery disease, heart failure, stroke, and atrial fibrillation in most adults. The real concern isn't coffee—it's excessive caffeine intake, especially from energy drinks. As always, personalization is key. Genetics, underlying cardiovascular disease, and individual caffeine sensitivity all influence the response. Coffee isn't the villain. Dose and context matter. ☕🫀 📚 Circulation 2026 🔗 DOI: 10.1161/CIR.0000000000001454 #Cardiology #InterventionalCardiology #Coffee #Caffeine #HeartHealth
