Energy drinks (EDs) are commonly used as a dietary supplement by young adolescents and adults. They are often used as a source of energy in order to enhance physical and mental performance. EDs contain a variety of substances, but caffeine is the main component. Safety has been the biggest concern associated with consuming EDs. Case reports, observational studies, and meta-analyses have been done in order to determine the effects of EDs on cardiovascular changes. The detrimental effects of EDs are cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, prolonged QT interval, aortic dissection, and death. In this article, we review case reports, observational studies, and meta-analyses of EDs and the risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. We also review active ingredients, pharmacokinetics, and the mechanism of action of EDs.
能量饮料（EDs）被青少年和成年人普遍用作膳食补充剂。它们常被用作能量来源，以提高身体和精神表现。能量饮料含有多种物质，但咖啡因是主要成分。安全性一直是与饮用能量饮料相关的最大担忧。已开展病例报告、观察性研究和荟萃分析，以确定能量饮料对心血管变化的影响。能量饮料的有害影响包括心律失常、心肌梗死、QT间期延长、主动脉夹层和死亡。在本文中，我们回顾了关于能量饮料以及心血管事件和死亡率风险的病例报告、观察性研究和荟萃分析。我们还回顾了能量饮料的活性成分、药代动力学和作用机制。
