TLDR
The cardiovascular benefit from n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is controversial, and the importance of serum eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) concentrations for clinical events is unclear.

Omega-3 and cardiovascular prevention - is this still a choice?

TL;DR: In this article , the authors discuss the most recent large trials with ω-3 fatty acids (FAs) trying to elucidate mechanistic and trial-related differences, as in the case of REDUCE-IT and STRENGTH studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Do omega-3 fatty acids increase risk of atrial fibrillation?

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors summarized the findings from recent observational follow-up studies and randomized trials of plant- and marine omega-3 fatty acids on the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF).

Epigenetic biomarkers of autoimmune risk and protective antioxidant signaling in methylmercury-exposed adults

TL;DR: A set of candidate epigenetic biomarkers for assessing individualized risk of autoimmune response and protection against neurotoxicity due to MeHg exposure and fish consumption are identified and may inform surrogate tissue biomarkers of early MeHG exposure-related neurotoxicity and T2D risk.

Dietary supplementation with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E after myocardial infarction: results of the GISSI-Prevenzione trial

Roberto Marchioli
- 07 Aug 1999 - 
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.

Cardiovascular Risk Reduction with Icosapent Ethyl for Hypertriglyceridemia

TL;DR: Among patients with elevated triglyceride levels despite the use of statins, the risk of ischemic events, including cardiovascular death, was significantly lower among those who received 2 g of icosapent ethyl twice daily than amongThose who received placebo.

BLOOD LEVELS OF LONG-CHAIN n-3 FATTY ACIDS AND THE RISK OF SUDDEN DEATH

TL;DR: The n-3 fatty acids found in fish are strongly associated with a reduced risk of sudden death among men without evidence of prior cardiovascular disease.

N-3 fatty acids and cardiovascular events after myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: Low-dose supplementation with EPA-DHA or ALA did not significantly reduce the rate of major cardiovascular events among patients who had had a myocardial infarction and who were receiving state-of-the-art antihypertensive, antithrombotic, and lipid-modifying therapy.
