Association of Plasma Omega-3 Levels With Incident Heart Failure and Related Mortalities.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the association between plasma omega-3 levels and incident heart failure (HF) and to examine their relationship with total and cardiovascular (CV) mortality among patients with preexisting HF.

Patients and methods

The UK Biobank is an ongoing prospective cohort study of individuals recruited in the United Kingdom between April 1, 2007, and December 31. 2010. We used Cox proportional hazards models to predict incident HF in those without baseline HF and total and CV mortality in those with baseline HF, all as a function of baseline plasma omega-3 levels.

Results

In participants without HF at baseline (n=271,794), a generally linear inverse association was observed between omega-3 levels and incident HF during a median follow-up of 13.7 years. T
