Published in the journal BMJ Medicine, the study found that for those with no known cardiovascular disease regular use of fish oil supplements was linked to a 13% heightened risk of developing atrial fibrillation and a 5% heightened risk of stroke. But for heart disease patients fish oil supplements were associated with a 15% lower risk of progressing from atrial fibrillation to a heart attack, and a 9% lower risk of going from heart failure to death. Tracy Parker, a dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, said: “Supplements such as omega-3 fatty acids are no substitute for a healthy diet and it’s important to look at your diet as a whole to help lower your risk.”

该研究发表在《BMJ医学》期刊上,研究发现对于那些没有已知心脑血管疾病的人来说,经常服用鱼油补充剂会导致房颤风险增加13%,中风风险增加5%。但对于心脏病患者来说,补充鱼油可以将房颤发展为心脏病的风险降低15%,将心力衰竭发展为死亡的风险降低9%。英国心脏基金会的营养师特雷西·帕克表示:“omega-3脂肪酸等补充剂并不能替代健康饮食,重要的是从整体上审视饮食,以帮助降低风险。”
