It remains uncertain whether the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) reduce cardiovascular risk.OBJECTIVE To determine the effects on cardiovascular outcomes of a carboxylic acid formulation of EPA and DHA (omega-3 CA) with documented favorable effects on lipid and inflammatory markers in patients with atherogenic dyslipidemia and high cardiovascular risk.
Although the AF recurrence rate after initial PVI in impaired EF patients was higher than in normal EF subjects, nearly three-fourths of patients with impaired EF remained AF-free. Although our sample size was nonrandomized, our results suggest PVI may be a feasible therapeutic option in AF patients with impaired EF. Randomized studies with more patients and longer follow-up are warranted.
Normal heart VT with left bundle branch block, inferior axis and early precordial transition can be ablated in the majority of patients from either the left or the noncoronary aortic sinus of Valsalva.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
