Vascular composition data supporting the role of N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the prevention of cardiovascular disease events

N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are thought to have protective effects against cardiovascular disease. Here, we report the relationship between serum PUFA concentrations and plaque composition, as evaluated by virtual histology-intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS). Consecutive patients (n=61)...
