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)
