New Study Emphasizes the Potential Risks of Consuming Energy Drinks
|
|
|
A research team led by Sachin A. Shah, PharmD, FAHA, professor of pharmacy practice and regional coordinator for Travis Air Force Base, discovered consuming energy drinks altered the heart’s electrical activity and raised blood pressure. Dr. Shah and team found consuming energy drinks raised blood pressure, which could lead to future health complications such as heart attack and stroke. Their findings also showed energy drink consumption significantly prolonged the QTc interval, an indication that the patient is at increased risk for fatal arrhythmias.
“The public should be aware of the impact of energy drinks on their body especially if they have other underlying health conditions,” Dr. Shah said.

In the world
of health care, change is certain.
|
|
|
|

If there is one thing we can all agree on it is that change is inevitable. Some people find it easy to embrace change. They view change as an opportunity to improve and strengthen their organization or discipline. Change can also bring an air of uncertainty and unease. For many of us, change is uncomfortable.
Change can be challenging, but it also brings new opportunities for collaboration. Within the School, we are currently undergoing a notable transition. Pacific has decided to grow its health care programs and create a new School of Health Sciences.
