Studies Boost Importance of Omega-3s
July 2004
In 1996, the American Heart Association released its Science Advisory, Fish Consumption, Fish Oil, Lipids and Coronary Heart Disease. Since then, important new findings have been reported about the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids on cardiovascular health. These include evidence from randomized, controlled trials. New information has emerged about how omega-3 fatty acids affect heart function, hemodynamics (cardiac mechanics) and arterial endothelial function. Since 2000, the American Heart Association’s Dietary guidelines have recommended that healthy adults eat at least two servings of fish per week, particularly fish such as mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna and salmon. These fish contain two omega-3 fatty acids—eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
