DART-2-Study
<p>Oct 22, 2011 11:32 AM
 
This study is important!  (Note: this is DART-2;   DART was done several years before and
showed no evidnece of harm in the post MI period... DART-2 was in angina pts.)
GISII-Prevenzione  used fish oil and it showed no adverse effect in post-MI pts.)
 
Fish oil group unexpectedly had MORE deaths !!!! from sudden cardiac death...
these were 61 yo men with angina  with bmi of 28.
 
This trial is discussed on page 71 and 72 of Jaminets.
 
DISCUSSION:
 
IHD = ischemic heart disease
 
Advice to eat more fruit, veggies and oats did not reduce mortality...
compiance may have been poor (or not).
 
Observational evidence suggests that FISH consumtion is markedly protective against IND in high resik populations.
 
Physicians Heart Study suggests that sudden cardiac death was inversely related to FISH consumption...
several refs.
 
Death was greater in patients subrandomized to fish oil (3 caps per day);
