Mindsip insights from this episode:
Limit omega-3 intake to maintain heart health
Too much omega-3 fat can change the structure of the heart cell membrane, disrupting the sodium-potassium pumps and impeding the cell's ability to reset its electrical state.
Address supplement tracking gaps in long-term omega-3 studies
A weakness of the study is that researchers did not check if participants were still consuming omega-3s ten years after the initial survey.
Supplement omega-3s to reduce heart attack risk after atrial fibrillation
For people who already had atrial fibrillation, omega-3 supplementation was associated with a reduced risk of progressing to a heart attack or death.
Understand dose-dependency of omega-3s to manage arrhythmia risk
The risk of arrhythmia from omega-3s may be dose-dependent, as other research indicates lower doses can have the opposite, beneficial effect on heart cell function.
Reassess omega-3 supplementation to mitigate heart arrhythmia risk
A large prospective study found that omega-3 supplementation was associated with an increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation and stroke.
Consume omega-3 at 840 milligrams daily for safety
Researchers referenced one randomized controlled trial that showed no atrial fibrillation effect from omega-3 supplementation when consumed at around 840 milligrams per day.
