Summary:
We are currently recruiting patients for a clinical research study looking at a
concentrate of omega-3 free fatty acids to see whether it can help to
decrease the risk of serious heart problems in people with high
blood triglycerides (a type of fat in the blood that can raise
your risk of heart disease). If you take part, you will be
asked to take either the concentrate of omega-3
free fatty acids (made from fish oil) or corn oil
capsules, once a day for 3–5 years.
Qualified Participants Must:
• Be 18 years of age or older
•
Be taking a statin medication but still have high triglyceride levels
•
Have at least one risk factor for heart disease, such as:
- a history of heart problems or stroke
- type 1 or 2 diabetes
- high blood pressure or taking a blood pressure medication
- being a regular smoker
Qualified Participants May Receive:
Study related medication and study-related medical care at no cost.
Compensation for time and travel may be provided.
