Inverse relationship between long-chain n-3 fatty acids and risk of sudden cardiac death in patients starting hemodialysis

Authors: A. N Friedman, et al. / Journal: Kidney International, February 2013

Summary

Experimental and clinical evidence suggests that long-chain n-3 fatty acids may protect against sudden cardiac death, the leading cause of mortality in hemodialysis patients. The study found significant inverse relationship was maintained even during the highest-risk first few months on hemodialysis. Thus, long-chain n-3 fatty acids are strongly and independently associated with a lower risk of sudden cardiac death in hemodialysis patients throughout the first year of hemodialysis.
