Summary:
Help us explore a potential way to protect your heart
Has your doctor said that you have a high risk of heart disease?
If so, you may be able to take part in a clinical research study 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) and low levels of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C; the “good” cholesterol). If you take part, you will be asked to take either the concentrate of omega-3 free fatty acids (made from fish oil) or a placebo, which contains corn oil, once a day for 3–5 years.
Qualified Participants Must:
• Be 18 years of age or older
•
Take 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
•
Have high blood pressure or taking a blood pressure medication
•
Be a regular smoker
A study doctor will need to review your previous medications and perform additional assessments during one or more screening visits at the study center to ensure that this study is right for you.
Qualified Participants May Receive:
All study medications and study-related health assessments will be provided at no cost to you
