Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Could Atrial Abnormality Be Due To Regular Intake Of Caffeine?
Sure, recently (within last two weeks) had an EKG test performed for Pre-op testing. I have been drinking approximately 60 ounces of Mountain Dew daily (high Caffeine). Reading on EKG said Probable Left Atrial Abnormality. Never had a bad non-normal EKG previously and have passed 3 stress tests five years apart from each other. Can the Caffeine be causing the non-normal EKG. Surgeon wants a second EKG performed prior to the procedure.
