Fish Oil May Improve Heart Function

In a placebo-controlled study involving 21 healthy men and women, supplementation with fish oil (DHA plus EPA—the 2 main oils in fish oil) improved heart muscle efficiency. The subjects received 2 g/day DHA + 3 g/day EPA or placebo for a period of 6 weeks. The fish oil group had increased heart stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO). The authors of the study concluded "DHA + EPA-induced increases in SV and CO imply that dietary supplementation with these fatty acids can increase oxygen delivery during exercise, which may have beneficial clinical implications for individuals with cardiovascular disease and reduced exercise tolerance."1
