Abstract in brief

The article explores the potential connection between Omega-3 fatty acids and the risk of developing atrial fibrillation, a common heart rhythm disorder.
It discusses various studies that have shown mixed results, with some suggesting that Omega-3s might help prevent atrial fibrillation, while others indicate they could increase the risk.
Overall, the text emphasizes the need for further research to clarify whether Omega-3 supplements are beneficial or harmful for people at risk of atrial fibrillation.]

I choose to obtain Omega 3 in balance with Omega 6 from regeneratively grazed land animals, and not from fish oil. Is this the correct way? I don't know
