• Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (w3 PUFAs) therapy continues to show great promise in primary and, particularly in secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. • Few studies, however, have examined the relevance of w3 PUFA serum levels as an entity with coronary plaque, especially with its tissue components. • The presence of both low eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) content and low docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) content proved to be an independent predictor of lipid-rich plaques measured by integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasound. • These findings might help explain the protective mechanisms by which w3 PUFAs, mainly of EPA and DPA, contribute to decrease the risk of atherosclerotic change. Serum content of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) was measured in 336 of 368 consecutive patients suspected of having coronary artery disease who underwent coronary angiography. Conventional and integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasound (IB-IVUS) parameters were analyzed in 116 patients with 128 coronary plaques, using a 43-MHz (motorized pullback 0.5 mm/s) intravascular catheter (View It, Terumo Co., Japan).

Rockford Fosgate Fnx 2614 Manual Meat. Lipid-rich plaques were classified into two categories according to their components. Patients with acute coronary syndrome had significantly lower levels of ω3 PUFAs (especially of EPA and DPA) than those without it. IB-IVUS analyses showed that ω3 PUFAs correlated inversely with% lipid volume and positively with% fibrous volume. Service Manual Hartke Ha3500.

Patients with low EPA levels, low DPA levels, and low DHA levels had a significantly higher% lipid volume ( p = 0.048, p = 0.008, and p = 0.036, respectively) and a significantly lower% fibrous volume ( p = 0.035, p = 0.008, and p = 0.034, respectively) than those with high levels of these fatty acids. Even after adjustment for confounders, the presence of both low EPA and low DPA levels proved to be an independent predictor for lipid-rich plaques in any of the two categories. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3 PUFAs) therapy continues to show great promise in primary, and particularly in secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

Most of the evidence for benefits of ω3 PUFAs has been obtained from research on fish oils that typically contain eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the long-chain fatty acids in this family [,,, ]. Several biological effects of ω3 PUFA have accounted for the potential benefits of ω3 PUFA in atherosclerosis [, ], heart failure [, ], and arrhythmias [, ]. However, data as to the direct correlation of ω3 PUFA with coronary plaque composition are quite limited. Integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasound (IB-IVUS) has recently been developed allowing analysis of the tissue components of coronary plaques in vivo [,,, ]. Apart from its diagnostic utility, IB-IVUS has also proved useful to assess the prognosis of patients with coronary atherosclerosis, and the risk of experiencing a coronary event [, ].

In the present study, we hypothesized that ω3 PUFAs would be associated with the presence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and assessed the impact of ω3 PUFAs on coronary plaque instability using IB-IVUS. The composition of serum fatty acids was determined by capillary gas chromatography. Total lipids were extracted by Folch's procedure and then fatty acids were methylated with boron trifluoride and methanol; methylated fatty acids were analyzed using a Shimadzu GC-17A gas chromatograph (Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan) and an Omegawax 250 capillary column (0.25 mm internal diameter × 30 m, Supelco, Inc., Bellefonte, PA, USA). Blood samples were collected from 336 patients before CAG or PCI. Hypertensive patients were those with documented blood pressure of >130/85 mm Hg on 2 or more occasions, or who were already on antihypertensive therapy. Diabetes mellitus was defined if the patient was taking any antihyperglycemic medication or had previously been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.
