Abstract

Background and Aims: Increased fish oil consumption has been associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Fish oils owe their CVD benefits to omega-3 fatty acids which include eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Multiple clinical trials, with the majority of them administering a combination of EPA and DHA, have been conducted in Western and Asian populations with mixed outcomes. This study aimed to determine whether omega-3 fatty acid formulations of EPA alone versus mixed combinations can confer protection in patients with CVD.
