Description
Guillaume Roger and five co-authors wrote this review, published in 2025. It explains the case for high-dose eicosapentaenoic acid, a purified omega-3 fat from fish oil, in preventing heart and vessel disease. The target patients carry high triglycerides, a blood fat that keeps risk up even when cholesterol is treated.
Gene and population studies mark fat-rich particles as a true cause of artery disease, not a bystander. Trials show the high-dose fat cuts events in patients already on statins. The review sets out how the treatment fits beside strong cholesterol lowering, with a practical chart for combining therapies after a heart attack or syndrome. The authors present this pairing as the way to attack the leftover risk that statins leave behind.
