Abstract
A recent meta-analysis published in EClinicalMedicine examined the effectiveness of omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), on cardiovascular (CV) outcomes [1]. Mixed EPA/DHA formulations were indicated to have moderate certainty in reducing CV mortality and outcomes. Greater relative reductions in incident CV events were observed with EPA alone trials. The authors conclude that EPA and DHA have inherently different physico-chemical properties that influence CV risk reduction.
