The study, which involved participants with a high risk for severe cardiovascular diseases, evaluated the impact of omega-3 fatty acids on vascular condition by administering 1.8 grams of omega-3 fatty acids per day for 12 weeks. The results were compared to participants in a control (healthy participants) and a placebo group. Before the intervention, after 3 weeks and after 12 weeks, several parameters, including heart rate and blood pressure, were measured. After supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids, the vascular condition was significantly improved, and the heart rate was decreased compared to the placebo group that did not show any improvements.
