Heart Rhythm: A warning about fish oil supplements | Long-term monitoring detects unsuspected AFib

After studying the latest research, a veteran cardiologist is no longer recommending fish oil supplements to his patients.

This issue “has the potential to inhibit lifesaving therapies,” according to a new analysis in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

After 12 months, AFib detection was much higher in stroke patients treated with an insertable cardiac monitor than those who received usual care. 

The company's flagship monitor and AI capabilities both received key regulatory approvals. 

The trend was seen among both Republican and Democrat voters—but it appeared to affect Democrats much more. 

This secondary analysis of data from the FIDELIO-DKD trial was presented May 17 at ACC.21 and published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. 

The study's authors believe they are the first group to investigate the real-time relationship between alcohol consumption and AFib events.

Marijuana users with a cardiac arrhythmia may face a heightened risk of in-hospital mortality, new research suggests.
