Omega-3 fatty acids work in multiple ways to prevent heart disease or to help prevent you from dying if you do have a heart attack.
They:
reduce clotting of the blood (antithrombotic)
lower blood pressure
help prevent atherosclerosis (or clogging of the arteries)
make our arteries more flexible and elastic
reduce inflammation (omega-3s have an anti-inflammatory effect)
help prevent ventricular arrhythmia (or chaotic beating of the heart, the biggest cause of sudden death after a heart attack)
lower triglycerides (a kind of fat in our blood) and LDL (the "bad" cholesterol)
raise HDL (the "good" cholesterol)
help prevent narrowing of the arteries after bypass surgery
lower blood homocysteine levels (high levels increase the risk of heart disease)
