A new study finds that regular use of fish oil supplements may increase the risk of first-time stroke and atrial fibrillation in people with good cardiovascular health.

This is an important finding because fish oil supplements are a popular way to keep the risk of cardiovascular disease at bay.

A large proportion of adults over 60 in the United States use these products to take care of their heart health.

Cardiologists and experts suggest that people treat the use of fish oil supplements with caution and consult a doctor before starting them, considering that they are not under the official recommendations of medical associations.

This finding raises questions about the effectiveness and safety of using these products for heart health.
