Thirty-one percent of respondents reported regularly taking omega-3 supplements, and during that period, they identified approximately 22,000 cases of heart attack, stroke, heart failure, 18,000 cases of atrial fibrillation, and 22,000 deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The analysis found that regular users had a roughly 13 percent higher risk of atrial fibrillation and a 5 percent higher risk of stroke than non-users. Even after accounting for other variables, such as age, gender, smoking, and high blood pressure, the trend persisted. The study, published in BMJ Medicine, is notable for being the first to demonstrate a negative association using long-term data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%EC%8B%AC%EC%9E%A5%EB%B3%91_%EC%9C%84%ED%97%98_%EC%A6%9D%EA%B0%80%EC%9D%98_%EB%B0%B0%EA%B2%BD\"><\/span>Background of increased risk of heart disease<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oaidalleapiprodscus.blob.core.windows.net\/private\/org-xYRSxDEDyjanmeI3wiQ1GWla\/user-fSvinlzu1xmqQiDjqhwXJtR3\/img-m2Xp7rIXS2uL5rw4c8suR4pj.png?st=2026-01-10T07%3A16%3A50Z&amp;se=2026-01-10T09%3A16%3A50Z&amp;sp=r&amp;sv=2024-08-04&amp;sr=b&amp;rscd=inline&amp;rsct=image\/png&amp;skoid=0e2a3d55-e963-40c9-9c89-2a1aa28cb3ac&amp;sktid=a48cca56-e6da-484e-a814-9c849652bcb3&amp;skt=2026-01-10T07%3A35%3A25Z&amp;ske=2026-01-11T07%3A35%3A25Z&amp;sks=b&amp;skv=2024-08-04&amp;sig=XjEIU%2BnT1OexqlE\/%2BYDT5S5PHpBlg5FdWBmIIjG6BzI%3D\" alt=\"Regular intake of omega-3 supplements increases the risk of heart disease.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Researchers explain that omega-3s can affect the heart&#039;s electrical rhythm. Specifically, alterations in the conduction properties of the atria can trigger atrial fibrillation. For this reason, the American Heart Association does not recommend regular preventive omega-3 supplementation. Instead, they recommend prioritizing dietary intake and lifestyle changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%EC%9D%B4%EB%AF%B8_%EC%A7%88%ED%99%98%EC%9D%B4_%EC%9E%88%EB%8A%94_%EA%B2%BD%EC%9A%B0%EC%9D%98_%EB%8B%A4%EB%A5%B8_%EA%B7%B8%EB%A6%BC\"><\/span>Another picture of a pre-existing condition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, different signals were observed in people with pre-existing cardiovascular disease. The risk of progression from atrial fibrillation to myocardial infarction was approximately 15 percent lower, and the risk of progression to heart failure was approximately 9 percent lower. Therefore, while there may be benefits in the context of treatment, tailored application is necessary under the discretion of the medical professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>healthy person<\/b> Regular use increases the risk of atrial fibrillation by about 13 percent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>healthy person<\/b> About a 5 percent increase in stroke risk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Patients with existing medical conditions<\/b> Reduced risk of developing myocardial infarction by approximately 15 percent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Patients with existing medical conditions<\/b> Reduced risk of heart failure progression by approximately 9 percent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Common<\/b> Results may vary depending on individual condition and concomitant medications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%EB%88%84%EA%B5%AC%EC%97%90%EA%B2%8C_%EC%96%B4%EB%96%A4_%EC%84%A0%ED%83%9D%EC%9D%B4_%ED%98%84%EB%AA%85%ED%95%9C%EA%B0%80\"><\/span>Which choice is wise for whom?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oaidalleapiprodscus.blob.core.windows.net\/private\/org-xYRSxDEDyjanmeI3wiQ1GWla\/user-fSvinlzu1xmqQiDjqhwXJtR3\/img-c07Ce4UgoEGr6Z7WSfaPGUV3.png?st=2026-01-10T07%3A16%3A24Z&amp;se=2026-01-10T09%3A16%3A24Z&amp;sp=r&amp;sv=2024-08-04&amp;sr=b&amp;rscd=inline&amp;rsct=image\/png&amp;skoid=0e2a3d55-e963-40c9-9c89-2a1aa28cb3ac&amp;sktid=a48cca56-e6da-484e-a814-9c849652bcb3&amp;skt=2026-01-10T07%3A59%3A34Z&amp;ske=2026-01-11T07%3A59%3A34Z&amp;sks=b&amp;skv=2024-08-04&amp;sig=3\/nbKWEdpPdOqZo\/3w2K7YQ25UgTfHxUjGFNzr\/9u5s%3D\" alt=\"Regular intake of omega-3 supplements increases the risk of heart disease.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Healthy adults without specific indications are advised not to habitually take omega-3 supplements.

Eating blue-backed fish like mackerel, salmon, sardines, and herring twice a week can naturally supplement your omega-3 intake. Perilla oil, flaxseed, and walnuts are also good choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Practical tips: Cook refrigerated fish while it&#039;s still fresh, either by grilling or steaming, and avoid over-frying. When choosing canned fish, check the sodium content and choose products made with water or olive oil.
