Food Therapy: Habitual Coffee Intake in Reduced Risk of Mortality after Heart Attack

By Kyle J. Norton


Coffee intake by myocardial infarction patients showed a significant reduced rate of mortality, a renowned institute study postulated.

Myocardial infarction is another term of heart attack.

Coffee, a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roasted bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

In a study of 4365 Dutch patients from the Alpha Omega Cohort, aged 60-80 y (21% female) and experienced an MI <10 y before study enrollment, using baseline (2002-2006), to evaluate the dietary data including coffee consumption over the past month collected and 203-item validated food-frequency questionnaire, after examine the returned questionnaire from participants, researchers indicated that
1. Most of patients(96%) were coffee drinkers
2. Intake of coffee >4 cups/d, regularly and daily expressed a inverse association to risk of mortality in compared to 0-2 cups/d.
3. Motility risk after myocardial infarction (MI) was decreased for every cup of additional coffee intake

Interesting, researchers also found out that there were no risk difference between caffeine and decaffeinated coffee.

These findings suggested that the efficacy of  reduced risk of mortality of MI patients may be associated to chemical constituents in coffee, other than caffeine.

Additionally, in the review of literature in the data base of MEDLINE and Embase published between 1946 and 2015, 2 eligible studies iinvolved-AMI mortality risk against coffee consumption with a total of 3271 patients and 604 died, in patients classified as light coffee drinkers (1-2 cups/day) versus noncoffee drinkers, heavy coffee drinkers (a>2 cups/day) versus noncoffee drinkers and heavy coffee drinkers versus light coffee drinkers, scientists filed the following results
1. All groups showed a significant reduction in risk ratio in compared to non drinkers.
2. The hazard risk ratio was 0.79 in light coffee drinkers versus noncoffee drinkers.
3. The risk ratio of 0.54 was found in Heavy coffee drinkers versus noncoffee drinkers and
4. Heavy coffee drinkers versus light coffee drinkers were associated with a risk ratio of 0.69 

Although there was no linear association of amount of coffee intake in risk of MI morality, coffee intake expressed a strong effect against risk of death in patients after heart attack.

Most important, even though habitual coffee consumption exerted a enormous effect in reduced risk
coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, and stroke as well as reduced risks of mortality, but most of the data on coffee's health effects are based on observational examine with very few randomized, controlled studies, and association does not prove causation, therefore while addressing the possible advantages of regular coffee consumption, researchers must also take into account of potential, risk such as anxiety, insomnia, tremulousness, and palpitations.
