Effect of omega-3 on brain natriuretic peptide and echocardiographic findings in heart failure: Double-blind placebo-controlled randomized trial

Abstract

The beneficial effects of omega-3 supplementation in patients with CHF were not as clear as hypothesized; however, omega-3 fatty acids can result in small changes in plasma BNP levels and modest improvements in echocardiographically assessed diastolic function (Clinical trial.gov registration: NCT01227837).
