Research suggests that fish oil, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, may have potential benefits for individuals with atrial fibrillation (Afib). Some studies indicate that omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil could help reduce the risk of recurrent Afib episodes and potentially improve heart health. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplements or making changes to your treatment plan.

I was a vegan when I had my first episode in 2004 (no longer as of 2008 or 09). In 2015, I was tested for the first time for omega 3 index it was very low, around 3.something. Because of AlzD genetic risk, my doc wanted my omega 3 index between 10 & 12. Subsequently, I've run it generally north of 12 and as high as 19 without an impact on my afib burden.
