In this article, the authors examined associations of fish consumption with ischemic heart disease (IHD) risk among older adults or how different types of fish meals relate to IHD risk.Abstract:
Background— Few studies have examined associations of fish consumption with ischemic heart disease (IHD) risk among older adults or how different types of fish meals relate to IHD risk. Methods and Results— In a population-based prospective cohort study, usual fish consumption was ascertained at baseline among 3910 adults aged ≥65 years and free of known cardiovascular disease in 1989 and 1990. Consumption of tuna and other broiled or baked fish correlated with plasma phospholipid long-chain n-3 fatty acids, whereas consumption of fried fish or fish sandwiches (fish burgers) did not. Over 9.3 years’ mean follow-up, there were 247 IHD deaths (including 148 arrhythmic deaths) and 363 incident nonfatal myocardial infarctions (MIs). After adjustment for potential confounders, consumption of tuna or other broiled or baked fish was associated with lower risk of total IHD death (P for trend=0.001) and arrhythmic IHD death (P=0.001) but not nonfatal MI (P=0.44), with 49% lower risk of total IHD death and 58% lowe...read more

Fish Intake, Contaminants, and Human Health: Evaluating the Risks and the Benefits

TL;DR: For major health outcomes among adults, the benefits of fish intake exceed the potential risks, and for women of childbearing age, benefits of modest fish intake, excepting a few selected species, also outweigh risks.

TL;DR: In the wake of the reports of the Women’s Health Initiative and the Heart and Estrogen/Progestin Replacement Study, which unexpectedly showed that combination hormone therapy was associated with adverse CVD effects, there is a heightened need to critically review and document strategies to prevent CVD in women.

n−3 Fatty acids from fish or fish-oil supplements, but not α-linolenic acid, benefit cardiovascular disease outcomes in primary- and secondary-prevention studies: a systematic review

TL;DR: Evidence suggests that increased consumption of n-3 FAs from fish or fish-oil supplements, but not of alpha-linolenic acid, reduces the rates of all-cause mortality, cardiac and sudden death, and possibly stroke.

The Omega-3 Index: a new risk factor for death from coronary heart disease?
TL;DR: In this article, the Omega-3 Index was proposed as a new risk factor for death from coronary heart disease (CHD) and the relationship between this putative marker and risk for CHD death, especially sudden cardiac death (SCD), was evaluated in several published primary and secondary prevention studies.

TL;DR: The burden of CVD on women and the global economy will continue to increase as life expectancy continues to increase and economies become more industrialized.

Dietary supplementation with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E after myocardial infarction: results of the GISSI-Prevenzione trial
TL;DR: Dietary supplementation with n-3 PUFA led to a clinically important and statistically significant benefit and vitamin E had no benefit and its effects on fatal cardiovascular events require further exploration.

TL;DR: These examinations in CHS permit evaluation of CVD risk factors in older adults, particularly in groups previously under-represented in epidemiologic studies, such as women and the very old.

Total energy intake: implications for epidemiologic analyses
TL;DR: While pitfalls in the manipulation and interpretation of energy intake data in epidemiologic studies have been emphasized, these considerations also highlight the usefulness of obtaining a measurement of total caloric intake, which is not accomplished with nutrient density measures of dietary intake.

TL;DR: A modest intake of fatty fish (two or three portions per week) may reduce mortality in men who have recovered from MI.
