Abstract

The abstract provides a concise summary of the comprehensive literature survey on the role of omega-3 fatty acids in cardiovascular health based on referenced research papers. The survey encompasses various studies exploring the impact of omega-3s on lipid management, coronary heart disease risk, secondary prevention post-myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, cognitive function, and metabolic health.Key findings include the efficacy of prescription omega-3 fatty acids in combination with simvastatin for hypertriglyceridemia patients, highlighting potential synergies for improved lipid profiles. Investigations into the dose-response relationship of long-chain n-3 fatty acids offer insights into their nuanced impact on cardiovascular protection.The association between EPA levels and cardiovascular outcomes underscores the contemporary relevance of EPA in reducing cardiovascular risk. Additionally, the literature survey includes guidelines for dyslipidaemias management, emphasizing the broader implications of omega-3 fatty acids in shaping cardiovascular health strategies.Studies on secondary prevention, atrial fibrillation recurrence, cognitive function, and sustained dietary interventions contribute to a comprehensive understanding of omega-3s beyond traditional cardiovascular concerns. The extension into metabolic health, Crohn's disease management, and innovative interventions demonstrates the evolving scope of omega-3 research.Risk stratification studies and a comprehensive review shed light on potential anti-inflammatory and ant arrhythmogenic effects underlying the cardiovascular benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. The examination of prescription omega-3s in treating hypertriglyceridemia emphasizes practical clinical applications in lipid management
