Energy drinks under the microscope: heart safety check
NCT ID NCT07212803
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how energy drinks change the heart's electrical signals in healthy adults aged 18 to 40. Only 3 people will take part, and each will try 8 different drink combinations. The goal is to see if these drinks cause any heart rhythm changes, not to treat or cure any disease.
