Dr. Paul Dorian, MD, CM, MSc., Cardiologist Helpful Tips On Lifestyle Factors and Atrial Fibrillation
Patients often ask me: I have atrial fibrillation, should I be worried about lifestyle, are there things I should do or I shouldn’t do?

First, coffee is safe in atrial fibrillation, there’s no reason not to drink coffee, and the scientific evidence if anything shows that coffee protects you from atrial fibrillation, doesn’t cause atrial fibrillation.
