(GOED) A new meta-analysis published in Clinical Nutrition found that cardiac surgery patients who received omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in advance of surgery experienced reduced postoperative cardiac arrhythmias and reduced the length of stay in the hospital by up to 2.4 days. The results are based on 11 RCT's with 1,038 patients.
