Title: Giving Omega-3 Fatty Acids to Elderly Patients Diagnosed With Acute Myocardial Infarction to Investigate the Effect on Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality
Brief Summary: The aim of the present study is to investigate the possible effects of supplementation with 1.8 g/day of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality during a follow-up period of 2 years in an elderly population after having experienced an acute myocardial infarction.

The hypothesis is that this supplementation on top of modern therapy will reduce the combined cardiovascular end-point of death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke, revascularizations or hospitalization for new or worsened heart failure with at least 30%.
