The effect of marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on cardiac autonomic and hemodynamic function in patients with psoriatic arthritis: A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

Background: Patients with psoriatic arthritis are at high cardiovascular risk. Marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) may reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of marine n-3 PUFA on cardiac autonomic function and vascular function in patients with psoriatic arthritis.
