Do omega-3 fatty acids reduce cardiovascular mortality in patients post-myocardial infarction?
Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) appear to provide adjuvant benefits to standard secondary prevention therapies post-myocardial infarction.
Harrison et al. (2004) conducted a review in Coronary heart disease / post-myocardial infarction. Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA + DHA) was evaluated. Omega-3 fatty acids, specifically eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexanoic acid, play a significant adjuvant role in secondary prevention post-myocardial infarction.
