Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in Office Systolic Blood Pressure
Time Frame: At baseline and 7 days post energy drink and placebo consumption
SBP = Systolic Blood Pressure measured at baseline (after a single energy shot or placebo consumption) and after chronic consumption for 7 days.
Secondary Outcomes
- Office DBP After a Single Energy Shot and After Chronic Consumption(At baseline and 7 days post energy drink and placebo consumption)
- Max Heart Rate After a Single Shot and After Chronic Consumption(At baseline and 7 days post energy drink and placebo consumption)
- Max QTc Interval After a Single Energy Shot or Placebo Consumption After Day 1 and After Chronic Consumption After Day 7(At baseline and 7 days post energy drink and placebo consumption)
- Max QT Interval After a Single Energy Shot or Placebo Consumption After Day 1 and After Chronic Consumption After Day 7(At baseline and 7 days post energy drink and placebo consumption)
- Max QRS Duration After a Single Shot and After Chronic Consumption(At baseline and 7 days post energy drink and placebo consumption)
- Max PR-interval After a Single Shot and After Chronic Consumption(At baseline and 7 days post energy drink and placebo consumption)
