Omega‐3 fatty acids for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease

Do n-3 fatty acids work against CVDs?

Is it correct to promote daily intake of n-3 at 250mg/day ? as in here, table 1.

Omega‐3 fatty acids for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease





Authors' conclusions

This is the most extensive systematic assessment of effects of omega‐3 fats on cardiovascular health to date. Moderate‐ and low‐certainty evidence suggests that increasing LCn3 slightly reduces risk of coronary heart disease mortality and events, and reduces serum triglycerides (evidence mainly from supplement trials). Increasing ALA slightly reduces risk of cardiovascular events and arrhythmia.
