Abstract:
The consumption of energy drinks (ED) has become a growing public health issue, since potentially ED-related serious adverse cardiovascular events, including arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathies, and sudden cardiac death, have been reported in recent years. The substances contained in ED include caffeine, taurine, sugars, B group vitamins and phyto-derivatives, which, especially if taken in large quantities and in a short amount of time, could cause serious side effects through various mechanisms of action, such as increased blood pressure and QT interval prolongation. Although there are still many open questions on ED that require further specific investigations, there is an urgent need for information and educational plans to the population, as well as for regulatory actions, particularly regarding transparency of substances and possible adverse effects.
摘要:
能量饮料(ED)的消费已成为一个日益严重的公共卫生问题,由于潜在的ED相关严重不良心血管事件,包括心律失常,心肌梗塞,心肌病,和心源性猝死,近年来有报道。ED中含有的物质包括咖啡因,牛磺酸,糖,糖B族维生素和植物衍生物,which,特别是如果在短时间内大量服用,可能会通过各种作用机制引起严重的副作用,如血压升高和QT间期延长。尽管关于ED仍有许多悬而未决的问题需要进一步具体调查,迫切需要向人民提供信息和教育计划,以及监管行动,特别是关于物质的透明度和可能的不利影响。
