Caffeine intake increases the risk of premature atrial contractions (PACs) and premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) because of its sympathomimetic effects via dopamine and norepinephrine [1-3]. The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines stated that caffeine can drive the onset of supraventricular arrhythmias and should be avoided in patients with history of extra beats [4]. Previous investigations showed that chronic coffee consumption reduced the risk of atrial fibrillation and led no association with ectopy in older adults [5, 6]. We tested the effects of moderate coffee consumption in this population in order to confirm these results in young athletes. This is an observational study of consecutive athletes undergoing clinical evaluation in the Exercise and Sports Medicine Unit “Antonio Cardarelli Hospital”, Department of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Molise, Campobasso, Italy. We applied the following inclusion criteria: a) age≥ 16 years b) taking no macronutrients and/or dietary supplements and c) willingness to participate in this study. We collected anamnestic data on cardiovascular risk factors, arrythmias, hypertension, asthma and medical treatment. We registered sport discipline for all athletes, with the classification based on the type of exercise and level of intensity. We did not include subjects which referred “cappuccino” and or tea in the analysis. We evaluated body Mass Index (BMI), resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP)(DBP), and baseline heart rate.We calculated pulse pressure from SBP and DBP difference. All participants performed a resting ECG and treadmill exercise testing according to the Modified Bruce Protocol. Treadmill Cosmed T150med and Omnia Quark CPET Cosmed 2019 analysis system were used for exercise testing. A 12 lead ECG recording system (Quark T12X wireless) was used continually throughout the test. We measured arterial blood pressure (BP) at the end of each stage of the test. We registered data regarding predicted maximal HR (220-age), maximal HR reached during exercise testing, ST-T modification and the presence of
