Incorporated fish oil fatty acids prevent action potential shortening induced by circulating fish oil fatty acids

Increased consumption of fatty fish, rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (3-PUFAs) reduces the severity and number of arrhythmias. Long term 3-PUFA-intake modulates the activity of several cardiac ion channels leading to cardiac action potential shortening. Circulating 3-PUFAs in the bloo...
