As a foundation for Fish Oil And Atrial, let's first explore what Atrial means:
• Atrial fibrillation is a disorder found in about 2.2 million Americans. In people suffering this problem, heart's two small upper chambers (the atria) quiver instead of beating effectively.
• As a result, blood isn't pumped completely out of the atria causing pooling and clotting. If a piece of a blood clot in the atria leaves the heart and becomes lodged in an artery in the brain, a stroke results.
• About 15 percent of strokes occur in people with atrial fibrillation. The likelihood of developing atrial fibrillation increases with age. Three to five percent of people over 65 have atrial fibrillation.
• According to a clinical study conducted on rabbits, incorporation of dietary omega-3 fatty acids into atrial tissue reduces stretch-induced susceptibility to atrial fibralliation.
There have been other of studies demonstrating benefits of increasing Omega-3 fatty acids on having a healthier heart:
• General heart benefits: Fish oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) has been proven in many clinical studies to benefit heart health, also supported by the American Heart Association guidelines
Circulatory problems such as varicose veins and Raynaud's disease benefit from fish oil. Fish oil stimulates blood circulation and increases the breakdown of fibrin, a compound involved in clot and scar formation.
