It is the most common heart rhythm disorder.

While caffeine was the most frequently reported trigger the researchers could find no correlation between caffeine intake and heart rhythm.

Lead author Gregory Marcus said: “Although caffeine was the most commonly selected trigger for testing, we found no evidence of a near-term relationship between caffeine consumption and atrial fibrillation.

The information was collected remotely by the scientists, with patients wearing portable echocardiograms (heart monitors) and reporting on an app when they consumed caffeine or alcohol.

446 participants were followed for ten weeks, only 53 of which listed caffeine as a trigger and 43 who listed alcohol.

While alcohol caused the most episodes in the study and caffeine was the most common point of concern among participants, other triggers can include smoking, overeating and stimulant drugs such as amphetamines
