Postoperative atrial fibrillation or flutter (AF) occurs in 1 of 3 patients undergoing cardiac
surgery, with subsequent documented higher long-term mortality, prolonged stays, and …

Several epidemiological and large randomized, clinical trials carried out in the general
population and in patients with cardiovascular disease have reported a significantly lower …

Background The effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on the prevention of
postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) are inconclusive in current studies. Moreover, the …

BACKGROUND: Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in fish oils may have antifibrillatory
effects. Their mechanism of action in humans is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: The …

Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and membrane-stabilizing
properties that indicate they could be useful in suppressing cardiac rhythm disorders. These …

Although atrial fibrillation is a very common medical problem in general population and has
a high incidence in the setting of open heart surgery, there are very few therapies to prevent …

Purpose The effect of perioperative supplementation of polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid
(PUFA) on the frequency of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients without a history of AF was …

Anti-arrhythmic properties of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, at least in part mediated by anti-
oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic power, have been widely proved. Effect of fish oil …

Background—The potential health benefits of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)
usually are studied using a combination of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and …

The omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
found abundantly in fatty fish and in “fish oil” type supplements have benefits in a number of …
