Omega-3 fatty acids in bipolar patients with a low omega-3 index and reduced heart rate variability: the “BIPO-3” trial [PDF]
International Journal of Bipolar Disorders, 2022 Background Research suggests that a low omega-3 index may contribute to the low heart rate variability and the increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in bipolar disorders. However, so far, no intervention trial with EPA and DHA has been
