Coexistence of Unstable Angina Pectoris and Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome Developed After Consumption of Energy Drink

Abstract

Interest in energy drinks and their consumption are increasing in recent years. The underlying motivation for the users is mostly enjoyment or enhancement of performance and attentiveness. However; energy drinks also have unwanted side effects such as cardiac symptoms. A small amount of data is available about the cardiac problems caused by energy drinks. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a congenital heart disease, causing tachycardia and very rarely sudden death. In this case, we aimed to represent a young case diagnosed with unstable angina pectoris and intermittent Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome, developed after consumption of energy drink.
