Key result
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, possess anti-inflammatory properties and modulate ion channels that may help prevent the occurrence of atrial fibrillation.
Why the study?
This review focuses on the novel cellular and molecular effects of omega-3 PUFAs in the context of mechanisms and factors involved in the development of AF.

Supports mechanistic plausibility for omega-3 in AF prevention; leaves open clinical utility without randomized evidence.
Do omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids prevent atrial fibrillation?
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may offer pharmacological potential in reducing atrial fibrillation through direct inhibition of sarcolemmal ion channels and anti-inflammatory effects.
Verma et al. (2023) conducted a review in Atrial Fibrillation. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (EPA and DHA) was evaluated. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, possess anti-inflammatory properties and modulate ion channels that may help prevent the occurrence of atrial fibrillation.
