Not all fish products prevent heart disease

Author(s)

Andrew R. Lockman, MD

PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS

For patients aged >65 years, modest consumption of tuna and other broiled/baked fish is associated with a lower risk of death from ischemic heart disease and fatal arrhythmias. The same is not true of fried fish or fish burgers. Instruct patients that not all fish products provide the same health effects.
