title: Cardiac arrest: a case-based review.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Coffee is commonly consumed among young people in China. However, consumers are rarely aware of physically adverse effects as a result of excessive consumption of caffeine.
  
  
  METHODS
  A literature search using multiple databases was performed for articles published with concentration on meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and randomized controlled trials.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Excess coffee consumption is also a risk of primary cardiac arrest especially in young people. Treatment modalities include activated charcoals, beta-blockers, vasopressin and hemodialysis when necessary.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Coffee consumers should be advised not to routinely take more than moderate coffee.
