Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice
with growing prevalence in developed countries. Several medical and interventional
therapies, such as atrial specific drugs and pulmonary vein isolation, have demonstrated
prevention of recurrences. However, their suboptimal long-term success and significant
rate of secondary effects have led to intensive research in the last decade focused on
novel alternative and supplemental therapies. One such candidate is polyunsaturated fatty
acids (PUFAs). Because of their biological properties, safety, simplicity, and relatively cheap
cost, there is a special clinical interest in omega-3 PUFAs as a possible antiarrhythmic agent.
Obtained from diets rich in fish, they represent one of the current supplemental therapies.
At the cellular level, an increasing body of evidence has shown that n-3 PUFAs exert a
variety of effects on cardiac ion channels, membrane dynamic properties, inflammatory
cascade, and other targets related to AF prevention. In this article, we review the current
basic and clinical evidence pertinent to n-3 PUFAs in AF treatment and prevention.We also
discuss controversial outcomes among clinical studies and propose specific subsets of AF
patients who will benefit most from n-3 PUFAs
