Introduction

Unsaturation 3 carbons from the C terminus of the long-chain fatty acid.

Origin

Indications

* no significant reduction in cardiovascular disease & mortality[13][33][39][40]

* no cardiovascular benefit[21][25][33][36][39]

* no reduction in cardiovascular events in high-risk patients[50]

* reduces risk of sudden cardiac death[31]

* 19-45% reduction in cardiovascular events[14]

* no benefit for secondary prevention of heart disease[24]

* no benefit for secondary prevention after myocardial infarction[51]

* high plasma levels of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids are associated with reduced mortality, especially cardiovascular mortality[26]

* plasma levels of seafood-derived long-chain omega-3 fatty acids in elderly subjects is associated with healthy aging[44]

* may be of benefit in patients with recent MI[38]

* reduced mortality & hospitalization in patients with chronic heart failure (2% absolute risk reduction)[15]

* reduced risk of ischemic stroke WITHOUT increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke

* reduced cardiovascular mortality & improved cardiovascular outcomes[56]

* no effect on cancer[13]
