I = Insufficient evidence: the balance of benefits and harms cannot be determined D = The USPSTF recommends against the service. There is moderate or high certainty that the service has no net benefit or that the harms outweigh the benefits.

OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS
A fishy story…
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
sources of Ω-3 fatty acids –EPA = eicosapentanoic acid –DHA = docosahexanoic acid
in EPA and DHA have fewer fatal and non fatal CV events
Page 18
Randomized trials of Ω-3s in heart disease
– Only positive trial
– Not even a trend towards benefit for post-MI, CVD or atrial fibrillation
– Harm: 3 extra days in ICU, trend - more death (p=0.054)
– No benefit

The final word
“Vitamins taken in excess of the dose required to prevent deficiency states have not improved
should recommend therapies to prevent disease in healthy patients only when randomized trials unequivocally demonstrate that net benefits
emphasize the importance of a nutritious diet, regular physical activity, and no smoking as the best ways to optimize health.”
Tice, JA. Archives IM, 2010.
