The omega-3 index in patients with heart failure: a prospective cohort study

Conclusions: Our results show a marked depletion of omega-3 fatty acids in patients hospitalized for decompensated heart failure (suggested target range 8-11%). Although the O3-I was associated with a panel of established risk indicators in heart failure, it did not predict mortality risk.Clinical Trial Registration: www.controlled-trials.com; ISRCTN23325295
