Pulmonary Vein Isolation Outcomes With Fish Oils

Pulmonary Vein Isolation Outcomes With Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA)and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA)

Fish oil therapy may decrease the incidence of cardiac arrhythmias. This study will test whether pre-treatment with fish oils before catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation decreases the early post operative occurrence of atrial fibrillation.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Paroxysmal Atrial fibrillation (PAF).
• Persistent atrial fibrillation. Persistent AF is not self-limited.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Previous pulmonary vein isolation ablation procedure
• Contraindication for anticoagulation
• Permanent AF
• Severe valvular pathology
• Concurrent use of antiarrhythmic medications
• Inability to give consent
• Pregnancy
