Special attention to the consequences of the consumption of Coca-Cola occurred during the meeting of the European rhythm of the Heart Association, which took place in Athens, Greece. Cardiologists from around the world exchanged their experiences about diseases and strange cases related to the popular drink, one of which took place in Monaco, where a 31-year-old woman was hospitalized after fainting and acute problems with heart.
