Abstract
Aspects around cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially its predisposing factors, have been studied for a long period. Recent studies have largely concentrated on coffee intake by elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes and its association with CVDs. Others have looked at the potential of coffee and tea in preventing CVD. The association between intake of caffeinated coffee with heart valve disease among the elderly has been another area of interest. However, there is still a gap in research in this area, explaining why this review was conducted to explore the effects of caffeinated coffee on human cardiovascular function as well as the association between coffee consumption and the blood pressure level. The review concludes that Caffeinated coffee consumption is associated with a lower risk of CVD. However, the association between caffeinated coffee intake and blood pressure needs further study.
