Effects of Caffeine on Blood Pressure

Abstract

Caffeine is seen in many different beverages such as coffee, energy drinks, tea, soft drinks, and juices. However, the topic of caffeine and effects on blood pressure has been discussed in multiple studies throughout the years. The purpose of the systematic review was to highlight the effects of caffeine consumption on systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate. The results presented were mixed as some studies showed an elevated systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate after consuming the caffeinated beverages and other studies presented no change in the blood pressure values or heart rate after drinking the caffeinated source.
