A cohort of 200 patients was drawn from a multicenter randomized, double‑blind, placebo‑controlled trial conducted between 1999 and 2003 that evaluated omega‑3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in individuals with prior sustained VT or VF. The parent trial found that fish oil did not reduce arrhythmia risk and could be proarrhythmic in some patients. Using this dataset, the present investigation explores whether baseline lipoprotein profiles may serve as independent risk markers for recurrent malignant ventricular arrhythmias. 000000395 540__ $$fCC BY 000000395 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000395 650__ $$aTachycardia, Ventricular$$029754 000000395 650__ $$aLipoproteins$$021556 000000395 650__ $$aFish Oils$$019066 000000395 650__ $$aDeath, Sudden, Cardiac$$029385 000000395 650__ $$aRisk Factors$$025522 000000395 650__ $$aFatty Acids, Unsaturated$$018915 000000395 650__ $$aDietary Supplements$$031715 000000395 650__ $$aVentricular Fibrillation$$027769 000000395 650__ $$aCholesterol, HDL$$021558 000000395 650__ $$aCholesterol, LDL$$021560 000000395 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000395 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000000395 7001_ $$aChao, James$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000395 7201_ $$aKraemer, Dale$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000395 7201_ $$aConnor, William$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000395 8564_ $$9e1ddfa6a-0e62-459b-a066-b5e6ae174214$$s382499$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/395/files/396_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$238a224806ff8510d1d9add35bfcad98c$$31 000000395 901__ $$a<p>These documents are archival records.
