  • Consuming 1 gram / day of omega-3 fatty acids from fish was associated with 2.3 beats / minutes lower heart rate and a 46\% lower risk of prolonged ventricular repolarisation.

  • Eating tuna or other broiled or baked fish at least once a week was associated with lower heart rate (-3.2 beats / minute) and a 50\% lower likelihood of prolonged ventricular repolarisation (the period of time it takes the heart to recharge after it beats, so it can beat again), compared to those consuming fish less than once a month.
