We explored the effects of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically EPA and DHA, on heart failure markers in patients who had suffered a heart attack. In a large study involving nearly 4,837 participants aged 60-80, we administered various types of margarine for 40 months, some enriched with these fatty acids.
However, our results indicated that there was no significant change in NT-proBNP levels, a crucial heart failure biomarker, among those taking the supplements compared to a placebo group. Thus, it appears that modest EPA and DHA supplementation does not significantly affect heart failure risks after a myocardial infarction.

We aimed to understand the role of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in improving heart function after a heart attack. Using both laboratory and animal models, we discovered that DHA helps cardiomyocytes survive oxygen deprivation and limits damage post-heart attack.
DHA reduced heart tissue injury and improved overall heart function. Our results showed that it promotes a protective process known as autophagy, which is linked to the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway. This study highlights the potential of DHA in supporting heart health after a myocardial infarction.

Omega-3s reduce heart attack damage
We explored how two omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, affect heart attack damage by testing them in adult male rats over 14 days. After subjecting these animals to a heart injury, we measured the damage.
Our findings revealed that both EPA and DHA effectively reduced heart attack size when tested alone, while their combination didn’t show any added benefit. Notably, DHA also decreased specific cellular activities related to damage, making it a standout in promoting heart health in our model.

Energises heart health
Good old fish oil! I have used this product for many years, and it has always been beneficial. It's especially helpful for health when combined with Coenzyme Q10, as the heart seems to receive an energy boost. Gelatin is also beneficial for skin, hair, and nails.

DHA and EPA aid heart recovery
We investigated how eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) influence heart function after a heart attack in rats. Our study showed both EPA and DHA improved heart health by reducing heart cell enlargement and preventing worsening heart failure. We found that they effectively inhibited certain cellular activities linked to heart muscle damage. Rats receiving these treatments maintained better heart function and showed less structural damage over six weeks. Ultimately, both EPA and DHA offered similar protective benefits after heart attacks.

We examined how an intravenous bolus of Omega-3, specifically a ratio of EPA to DHA at 6:1, affects heart function during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion in a rat model. Administering this Omega-3 before the reperfusion showed significant improvements in blood pressure and blood flow, while reducing markers of heart damage and inflammation. These findings suggest that while it's effective in rats, further research is necessary to see how it might work in human heart attack scenarios.

We explored how different types of fatty acids in our body, specifically n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), relate to the risk of heart attacks. Analyzing data from a large cohort, we found that both n-3 fractions and their ratios with n-6 PUFAs were linked to a lower chance of a heart attack. However, the ratios showed better predictive power. This suggests tailoring our diets to improve these ratios could be a promising approach for reducing heart attack risks in the broader population.
