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.”

該研究發表在《BMJ醫學》期刊上，研究發現對於那些沒有已知心腦血管疾病的人來說，經常服用魚油補充劑會導致房顫風險增加13%，中風風險增加5%。但對於心臟病患者來說，補充魚油可以將房顫發展為心臟病的風險降低15%，將心力衰竭發展為死亡的風險降低9%。英國心臟基金會的營養師特雷西·帕克表示：“omega-3脂肪酸等補充劑並不能替代健康飲食，重要的是從整體上審視飲食，以幫助降低風險。”
