Does Fish Oil Supplement Increase Risk of Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation?

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

The authors reported that the regular use of fish oil supplements might be a risk factor for atrial fibrillation among general population. When used as primary prevention in healthy persons, fish oil supplements were associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation.

Abstract WMP102: Risk Factors for MACE and Major Bleeding in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Elective Surgery: Insights From the BRIDGE Randomized Trial

Stroke Journal

This study aimed to identify risk factors to guide risk stratification and perioperative management.Methods:We performed a post-hoc analysis of the BRIDGE randomized trial. The primary outcome was MACE (stroke, myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular death) and clinically symptomatic major bleeding.

Long-term outcomes in very young patients with myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Myocardial infarction (MI) with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) covers an expanding group of patients over recent years. Previous studies showed considerable risks of outcomes in this group. We performed the Cox regression analysis to investigate the risk factors for mortality.

Impact of atrial fibrillation on the risk of major adverse cardiac events following coronary revascularisation

Open Heart

Objective Atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a highly prevalent arrhythmia with significant burden on morbidity and mortality. The primary outcome of interest was 1-year major adverse cardiac events (MACE) defined as a composite of death, myocardial infarction, unplanned revascularisation and cerebrovascular accidents.

Microvascular disease and arrhythmias: a renewed focus on the myocardial microvasculature?

Heart BMJ

Arrhythmias, and in particular atrial fibrillation (AF), are one of the greatest healthcare challenges of our time. Hospitalisation due to this condition is exponentially growing, and now outnumbers those for both heart failure and myocardial infarction.

Association of global longitudinal strain by feature tracking cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with adverse outcomes among community?dwelling adults without cardiovascular disease: The Dallas Heart Study

European Journal of Heart Failure

Among participants without pre-existing CVD, a higher burden of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors was associated with impairment of LV GLS. LV GLS is associated with MACE in adults without prevalent cardiovascular disease (CVD).
