Association of Plasma Omega-3 Levels With Incident Heart Failure and Related Mortalities.
To investigate the association between plasma omega-3 levels and incident heart failure (HF) and to examine their relationship with total and cardiovascular (CV) mortality among patients with preexisting HF. ⋯ Higher plasma levels of marine omega-3 fatty acids were associated with a lower incidence of HF. Furthermore, among patients with preexisting HF, higher omega-3 levels were associated with lower risks of all-cause mortality and CV mortality. These findings suggest that increasing plasma omega-3 levels, whether by diet or supplementation, could reduce both risk for development of HF and death in those with prevalent HF.

Art is integrated into the Mayo Clinic environment. Since the original Mayo Clinic Building was finished in 1914, many pieces have been donated or commissioned for patients and staff to enjoy. Each issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings features a work of art (as interpreted by the author) that is displayed in a building or on the grounds of Mayo Clinic campuses.
