Fish Oil Reduces Atrial Fibrillation and Sudden Death

Researchers around the world continue to trumpet the benefits of fish oil, especially in the prevention of sudden death from heart failure that is often triggered by atrial fibrillation (abnormal heart rhythms). The large scale GISSI prevention trial showed a whopping 45% decrease in sudden cardiac death in patients who had already had a first heart attack.

Fosamax Linked to Atrial Fibrillation

The list of damage found in the path of a Fosamax tornado continues to grow. A new report in the Archives of Internal Medicine offers conclusive proof that users of Fosamax are at an 86% increased risk for developing heart-related damage in the form of atrial fibrillation.

Atrial Fibrillation Linked to Risk for Cognitive Decline and Alzheimer’s

It is well known that the chronic irregular heart beats of atrial fibrillation increases the risk for stroke, which in turn could cause a significant loss of cognitive function. However, a new study indicates that atrial fibrillation, independent of stroke, is a major warning sign that something is not right in the nervous system and that if the problem is not fixed then the person is at a 38 percent to 50 percent increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
