    Effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on plasma indices of thrombogenesis and inflammation in patients post-myocardial infarction

    Unknown authors

    Published in Thrombosis Research

    Key Findings

    Omacor 1 g/day for 3 months after myocardial infarction did not significantly lower plasma fibrinogen versus usual care, though other haemostatic indices shifted.

    Conclusions

    Low-dose omega-3 has limited effect on circulating fibrinogen in secondary prevention.

    Limitations

    Open-label design, small sample, low omega-3 dose.

    Supplements Studied

    Omega-3 supplementation after myocardial infarction did not significantly reduce plasma fibrinogen versus usual care.

    Outcomes Measured

    Fibrinogen Reduction

    Plasma fibrinogen did not differ significantly between omega-3 treated patients and usual care controls at three months.
