IS CAVSOR SAFE FOR PATIENTS WITH ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE OR MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION?

It is estimated that about 17% of all deaths in men and 10% in women are caused by ischemic heart disease. Ischemic heart disease is the major cause of myocardial infarction (heart attack).

A number of studies have documented the beneficial cardiovascular effects of increased consumption of n-3 (also called omega-3) and n-6 (omega-6) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Cavsor contains three n-3 (including eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA, and docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA), two n-6, and one n-9 PUFAs.

Omega 3 benefits includes, in particular its ability to reduce the risk of fatal ischemic heart disease, is recognized by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.

The American Heart Association recommends eating fish (particularly fatty fish) at least two times (two servings) a week. Increasing omega-3 fatty acid consumption through foods is preferable. However, those with coronary artery disease, may not get enough omega-3 by diet alone. These people may want to talk to their doctor about fish oil supplements. And for those with high triglycerides, even larger doses of omega 3 supplements could help.
