Key Takeaways
AICardiologist and professor of cardiac catheterization Khaled Al-Nemer has confirmed that coffee does not cause chronic high blood pressure.
Writing on the X platform, Al-Nemer added that neither coffee nor tea causes chronic hypertension or triggers uncontrolled blood pressure episodes, provided daily caffeine intake does not exceed 400mg for healthy individuals.
He further explained that many heart failure patients report shortness of breath with minimal exertion, but the cause is not always weakened heart muscle. He noted that 66% of such cases are due to poor physical fitness—specifically, weak skeletal muscles and reduced oxygen consumption efficiency—rather than solely a decline in heart function.
