A recent Swiss study has revealed that drinking more than five cups of coffee daily may improve cognitive performance and reduce inflammation in people with heart rhythm disorders or atrial fibrillation. Researchers say caffeinated coffee can also potentially offset the increased risk of cognitive decline in these patients. Published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, the study tracked over 2,400 people diagnosed with atrial fibrillation in Switzerland from 2014 to 2017. Those who consumed more coffee scored better on cognitive test scores. Atrial fibrillation is noted to increase the risk of developing cognitive impairments.
