Plasma heart-type fatty acid-binding protein, omega-3 fatty acids and adverse cardiac events in the general population.
Omega-3 fatty acid levels modified heart disease risk from elevated fatty acid marker levels in the general population.
This clinical observational / translational study examined Plasma heart-type fatty acid-binding protein, omega-3 fatty acids and adverse cardiac events in the general population. Higher plasma levels of H-FABP were associated with a higher risk of CHD and HF in the general population, predominantly among individuals with low levels of omega-3 FAs.
