Effect of Omega 3-Fatty Acids on the Reduction of Sudden Cardiac Death After A Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction)

Effect of Omega 3-Fatty Acids on the Reduction of Sudden Cardiac Death After A Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction): "Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in North America and Europe. The major cause of CVD is atherosclerosis like coronary artery disease (CAD). The results of recent trials hint that the course of CAD may be positively influenced by an increased intake of omega 3-fatty acids. The OMEGA-Trial analyses this effect in subjects who suffered an acute myocardial infarction. "
