Taking Omega-3 to Heart

The main benefit of omega-3 fatty acids is reducing the risk of sudden cardiac death, which appears to be due to decreasing the risk of abnormal heart rhythms.

In 1996, the American Heart Association released its Science Advisory, "Fish Consumption, Fish Oil, Lipids and Coronary Heart Disease." Since then, important new findings have been reported on the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids on cardiovascular disease (CVD). These include evidence from randomized, controlled clinical trials. New information has emerged about how omega-3 fatty acids affect heart function (including antiarrhythmic effects), hemodynamics (cardiac mechanics) and arterial endothelial function. The ways that omega-3 fatty acids reduce CVD risk are still being studied. However, research has shown that they:

• Decrease the risk of cardiac arrhythmias, which can lead to sudden cardiac death.
• Decrease the growth rate of atherosclerotic plaque.

Epidemiologic and clinical trials have shown that omega-3 fatty acids reduce CVD incidence. Large-scale epidemiologic studies suggest that people at risk for coronary heart disease benefit from consuming omega-3 fatty acids from plants and marine sources. Evidence from prospective secondary prevention studies suggests that taking EPA+DHA ranging from 0.5 to 1.8 g per day, may significantly reduce deaths from heart disease and all causes.

Randomized clinical trials have shown that omega-3 fatty acid supplements can reduce cardiovascular events (death, non-fatal heart attacks, non-fatal strokes). They can also slow the progression of atherosclerosis in coronary patients. However, more studies are needed to confirm and
