Omega-3 and your heart risk
Omega-3 fatty acids get talked about mostly for cholesterol. But their real value for cardiac health runs deeper than that. They reduce triglyceride-independent inflammation in blood vessel walls, slow the rate at which platelets clump together, and can slightly lower resting blood pressure over time, particularly in people who are already on the borderline.
As a Cardiologist In Bhosari, Dr. Prashant Shinde checks whether omega-3 supplementation actually makes sense for a patient's specific risk profile before recommending it. Not everyone needs it. And the dose, the form (EPA versus DHA ratio) and the existing medication list all matter. Getting that wrong doesn't help the heart and can sometimes complicate other management.
Shwaas Cardiac Clinic is in Bhosari, close to the Bhosari MIDC stretch on the Pimpri-Chinchwad side. If you've been taking omega-3 capsules on your own or wondering whether they belong in your cardiac plan, calling to ask is a good place to start.
