Validity of the diagnoses atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter in a Danish patient registry
Thomas Andersen Rix,Sam Riahi,Kim Overvad,Søren Lundbye-Christensen,Erik Berg Schmidt,Albert Marni Joensen +5 more
TL;DR: This study shows that the validity of the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and/or AFL is high and may be used for registry-based studies and was not reliable to distinguish between cases of AF and AFL.

A U-shaped association between consumption of marine n-3 fatty acids and development of atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter—a Danish cohort study
Thomas Andersen Rix,Albert Marni Joensen,Sam Riahi,Søren Lundbye-Christensen,Anne Tjønneland,Erik Berg Schmidt,Kim Overvad +6 more
TL;DR: A U-shaped association between consumption of marine n-3 PUFA and risk of incident atrial fibrillation was found, with the lowest risk close to the median intake of total marine n/a PUFA at a moderate intake of 0.63 g/day.
Marine n-3 fatty acids in adipose tissue and development of atrial fibrillation: a Danish cohort study
Thomas Andersen Rix,Albert Marni Joensen,Sam Riahi,Søren Lundbye-Christensen,Kim Overvad,Kim Overvad,Erik Berg Schmidt +6 more
TL;DR: There was no statistically significant association between the content of marine n-3 PUFA in adipose tissue and the development of AF; however, data showed a monotonic, negative dose-response trend suggestive of a negative association.

Omega-3 fatty acids and cardiac arrhythmias.
TL;DR: Marine omega-3 PUFAs may protect against ventricular arrhythmias, and there is growing evidence for an effect of marine omega-2 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the prevention and treatment of atrial fibrillation.

Fish, Marine n-3 Fatty Acids, and Atrial Fibrillation - Experimental Data and Clinical Effects.
TL;DR: There is growing evidence for an effect of marine n−3 PUFA in prevention and treatment of AF, but further studies are needed to establish which patients are more likely to benefit, the timing of treatment, and dosages.
