Summary
The aim of the present study is to investigate the possible effects of supplementation with
1.8 g/day of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality during
a follow-up period of 2 years in an elderly population after having experienced an acute
myocardial infarction.
The hypothesis is that this supplementation on top of modern therapy will reduce the combined
cardiovascular end-point of death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke,
revascularizations or hospitalization for new or worsened heart failure with at least 30%.
