Effects of High-dose n-3 Fatty Acids on Clinical Outcome and Serum Lipids - Omacor Following Acute Myocardial Infarction

Effects of a High-dose Concentrate of n-3 Fatty Acids or Corn Oil Introduced Early After an Acute Myocardial Infarction on Serum Triacylglycerol and High-density Lipoprotein (HDL)- Cholesterol

Cardiac events were defined as cardiac death, resuscitation, recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) and unstable angina pectoris, presented as single or combined cardiac events. Revascularizations and death from other causes were also recorded.

Blood specimen were harvested at baseline [3-5 days post myocardial infarction (MI)] and repeated at 6 weeks, at 6 and 12 months follow-up. Serum cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) - cholesterol and triacylglycerol were evaluated during follow-up.

Blood specimen were harvested at baseline [3-5 days post myocardial infarction (MI)] and repeated at 6 weeks, at 6 and 12 months follow-up. Several markers of inflammation [high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (CRP), CD40-Ligand] were evaluated during follow-up.

Blood specimen were harvested at baseline [3-5 days post myocardial infarction (MI)] and repeated at 6 weeks, at 6 and 12 months follow-up. Several markers of coagulation (fibrin monomer, fibrinogen, tissue factor, activated factor XII) were evaluated during follow-up.

Blood specimen were harvested at baseline [3-5 days post myocardial infarction (MI)] and repeated at 6 weeks, at 6 and 12 months follow-up. Several markers of endothelial dysfunction (adhesion molecules, homocysteine) were evaluated during follow-up.

Blood specimen were harvested at baseline [3-5 days post myocardila infraction (MI)] and repeated at 6 weeks, at 6 and 12 months follow-up. Thiobarbituric acid Reactive Substances(TBARS), a marker of the oxidative burden of n-3 fatty acids, was evaluated during follow-up.
