Coffee and heart problems

I want to know if it is true that daily consumption of coffee can lead to heart problems
Henry (by SMS)

Caffeine increases heart rate and blood pressure, and too much of it can cause anxiety, insomnia, headaches, stomach irritation and an irregular heartbeat. It’s also addictive. About 400 mg is the maximum amount of caffeine you should consume in one day, which equals about four cups of coffee.
