Detailed description

Energy drinks are widely available and globally consumed. There are many brands of energy drinks on the market, and there are differences in the ingredients included. Previous studies have tried to evaluate the safety of energy drinks and have demonstrated a signal for some electrocardiographic (ECG) and hemodynamic effects.
