Yes, it is safe to drink coffee in moderation if you have heart failure. Coffee is a natural stimulant and may increase heart rate in some individuals, however it has not shown to have any detrimental effects to those suffering from heart failure. Studies have shown that regular consumption of coffee, 2 cups per day, may have long term benefits and help to lower risk for heart vessel blockages.
It is known that coffee consumption can raise blood pressure, and this is harmful for people with heart failure. But consumption will only cause damage if they are very large amounts, such as more than 6 cups a day. Otherwise, it's safe.
A moderate amount of coffee (2 or 3 cups a day) does not interfere with heart health. So it is safe to drink coffee if you have heart failure as long as you take it in that dose.
