Regular intake of fish oil was associated with an increased risk of incident atrial fibrillation irrespective of the genetic predisposition and background oily fish consumption as per a study that was published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.
Several large-scale randomized trials have shown conflicting results on regular consumption of fish oil and the development of Atrial fibrillation (AF). It is also uncertain if genetic AF risk, baseline cardiovascular disease (CVD) status, and background oily fish consumption would influence the outcome. Hence researchers conducted a study to find the association between Habitual fish oil supplementation and the risk of incident atrial fibrillation.
