Text: After fish oil intake for a mean of 70 days, the following were noted favoring the omega-3 group among both AF and AFL patients : (1) 2-fold higher serum omega-3 levels (P <. 001), (2) less mean decrease in emptying velocity (e. g., AF : 8 % vs. 32 %, P =. 02), (3) less mean decrease in appendage emptying fraction (e. g., AFL : 7 % vs. 60 %, P =. 002), (4) lower incidence of new or increased spontaneous echocardiographic contrast (e. g., AF : 11 % vs. 62. 5 %, P =. 003), and (5) lower incidence of atrial mechanical stunning (e. g., AFL : 20 % vs. 100 %, P =. 001).
