Key Takeaways
AICardiologist and professor of arterial catheterization Khaled Al-Nemer has confirmed that coffee does not cause chronic high blood pressure.
Writing on the X platform, Al-Nemer added that coffee and tea do not cause chronic hypertension or trigger uncontrolled blood pressure episodes in healthy individuals who consume less than 400 mg of caffeine per day.
He also noted that many heart failure patients experience shortness of breath with minimal exertion, but this is not always due to weakened heart muscle. He pointed out that 66% of such cases are linked to poor physical fitness—specifically, reduced skeletal muscle efficiency and lower oxygen consumption—rather than solely to declining heart function.
