Does caffeinism add a significant risk of heart disease


Does caffeinism add a significant risk of heart disease?
I have a fast heart rate, and my maternal grandfather has had 2 heart attacks (although he survived them). Would an addiction to caffeine add significantly to my risk of heart disease?

Caffeine can cause rhythm disturbances and can exacerbate any preexisting heart conditions that cause rhythm disturbances themselves. Caffeine can increase the risk of a heart attack in older people or people with clogged arteries. Eliminating caffeine from your diet wouldnt hurt at all anyway. You can get energy from food without the cardiac stimulating effects of caffeine
