Compared with non-coffee drinkers, those who drank about three cups of coffee a day appeared to reduce their risk of getting heart problems or dying from them.
The strongest benefits of coffee consumption were seen in reduced risks of liver disease, including cancer.
But Prof Paul Roderick, co-author of the study, from the faculty of medicine at University of Southampton, said the review could not say if coffee intake had made the difference.
"Factors such as age, whether people smoked or not and how much exercise they took could all have had an effect," he said.

Everything in moderation, including coffee
The findings back up other recent reviews and studies of coffee drinking so, overall, his message on coffee was reassuring.
"There is a balance of risks in life, and the benefits of moderate consumption of coffee seem to outweigh the risks," he said.
