Title: Study on Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Ventricular Arrhythmia, a Parallel, Placebo-Controlled, Double Blind Intervention Study
Brief Summary: The objective of the SOFA trial is to investigate whether supplemental intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) from fish oil can reduce the recurrence of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias in patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* ICD is capable of recording ECG strips for at least 10 of its (attempted) therapeutic interventions
* 18 years or older
* written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

* Primary prophylactic indication
* ICD implantation as a 'bridge' to heart transplantation
* Refractory supraventricular arrhythmias with rapid ventricular rates despite antiarrhythmic therapy
* a projected lifespan of less than 1 year
* participation in another trial (during or within 30 days before SOFA)
* use of any supplemental n-3 fatty acid during the last 3 months
* intake of more than 8g of n-3 fatty acids from fish per month as judged by a fish frequency questionnaire
* pregnant women and women of childbearing potential who do not use adequate contraception
* patients known to have a history of recent drug or alcohol abuse
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Men and women, ages \>18
* Fasting triglyceride ≥200 mg/dL and \<500 mg/dL
* LDL-C (low density lipoprotein - cholesterol) ≥40 mg/dL and \<100 mg/dL
* High risk for coronary heart disease
* On stable dose of statin (atorvastatin, rosuvastatin or simvastatin)
* Provide written informed consent and authorization for protected health information disclosure

Exclusion Criteria:

* Women who are pregnant or lactating, or planning to become pregnant
* Use of non-statin lipid-altering drugs which cannot be stopped including fibrates, niacin, fish oil and other products containing omega-3 fatty acids or other dietary supplements with potential lipid-altering effects
* History of bariatric surgery or currently on weight loss drugs
* Uncontrolled hypertension (BP \> 160/100)
* HIV infection or on treatment with HIV-protease inhibitors, cyclophosphamide,or isotretinoin
* Consumption of more than 2 alcoholic beverages per day
* History of cancers (except if been disease free for \>5 years OR history was basal or squamous cell skin cancer)
* Participation in another clinical trial involving an investigational agent in the last 30 days
* Other parameters will be assessed at the study center to ensure eligibility for this study.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Eligible participants had a total cholesterol level of ≧250mg/dL(6.5m mol/L) at baseline.
* Hyperlipidemic patients with serum total cholesterol of 250mg/dL or more. (Measurement of serum total cholesterol)
* Serum total cholesterol should be measured twice at interval of 2-4weeks. A single measurement is acceptable if the cholesterol is measured by blood collection at fasting under strict compliance with dietary advice after withdrawal of the antihyperlipemic drug.
* (Wash Out) The wash out period of 4weeks (8 weeks for probucol) is necessary in patients under treatment with antihyperlipemic drug. However, if treatment with the antihyperlipemic drug was started within 6 months of the initiation of the study, the patient can participate in the study without the washout period.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Acute myocardial infarction occurring within last 6 months
* Unstable angina pectoris
* A history or complication of serious heart disease(severe arrhythmia, heart failure, cardiac myopathy, valvular disease, congenital disease, etc.)
* Receiving cardiovascular reconstruction within last 6 months
* Cerebrovascular disorders occurring within last 6 months
* Complication of serious hepatic disease or renal disease
* Malignant tumor
* Uncontrollable diabetes
* Hyperlipidemia arising from the following disease: Nephrotic syndrome, hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, secondary hyperlipidemia due to other disease
* Hyperlipidemia due to some drugs such as steroid hormone
* Hemorrhage(hemophilia, capillary fragility, gastrointestinal ulcer, urinary tract hemorrhage, hemoptysis, vitreous hemorrhage, etc.)
* Hemorrhagic diathesis
* Hypersensitivity to the study drug formulation
* Patients intending to undergo surgery
* Patients judged to be inappropriate by the physician in charge
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* In- and outpatients of the Neurology Department of the CHL and their family members
* Carotid atherosclerosis assessed by B-mode ultrasound of at least 20% lumen reduction
* No acute stroke/TIA/amaurosis fugax (at least 3 months ago)
* Temporal ultrasound window suitable for recording of the middle cerebral artery
* Ability to give informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

* No signed informed consent
* patient not able to give informed consent
