cebo-controlled study of the effects of caf- with long-standing type 1 diabetes are at risk of autonomic failure and sudden cardiac death. We investigated the effects of caffeine on autonomic dysfunction (as assessed by heart rate variability [HRV]) in this high-risk group and in a control population.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS — Using a randomized blinded, placebo-
controlled, crossover design trial, we examined 2 weeks of caffeine consumption (250 mg twice daily) on HRV in 20 type 1 diabetic patients and 10 matched healthy volunteers.
screened by 12-lead electrocardiogram(ECG), echocardiography, and treadmill RESULTS — Baseline HRV was blunted in the diabetic patients (P Ͻ 0.0005 vs. control

The caffeine-associated increase in HRV of left ventricular systolic impairment (left was not statistically different between the control and the type 1 diabetes groups (P ϭ 0.16).
CONCLUSIONS
— Modest amounts of caffeine improved autonomic function in diabetic patients and healthy volunteers. For individuals with abnormal HRV, regular caffeine use may have the potential to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.

Geothermal Heat Pumps What are they and how do they work? Q: What is a geothermal heat pump? A geothermal heat pump is an electrically powered device that uses the natural heat storage ability of the earth and/or the earth’s groundwater to heat and cool your home or business. Q. How does it work? Like any type of heat pump, it simply moves heat energy from one place to
