Omega-3-fatty acids: Do they prevent cardiovascular disease?
Despite cardiovascular disease (CVD) reductions with high-intensity statins, there remains residual risk among patients with metabolic disorders. Alongside low-density lipoproteins (LDL-C), elevated triglycerides (TG) are associated with incident CVD events. Omega-3 fatty acids (n3-FAs), specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), lower TG levels, but their ability to reduce CV risk has been highly inconsistent. Trials using icosapent ethyl (IPE), a purified EPA ethyl ester, produced reductions in CVD events and atherosclerotic plaque regression compared with mixed EPA/DHA formulations despite similar TG-reductions. The separate effects of EPA and DHA on tissue distribution, oxidative stress, inflammation, membrane structure and endothelial function may contribute to these discordant outcomes. Additional mechanistic trials will provide further insights into the role of n3-FAs in reducing CVD risk beyond TG lowering.
期刊介绍:
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism is a serial publication that integrates the latest original research findings into evidence-based review articles. These articles aim to address key clinical issues related to diagnosis, treatment, and patient management.
Each issue adopts a problem-oriented approach, focusing on key questions and clearly outlining what is known while identifying areas for future research. Practical management strategies are described to facilitate application to individual patients. The series targets physicians in practice or training.
