Listen "Hemodialysis, Cardiovascular Burden, Therapeutic Hope 🩺❤️🌊 — Can Omega-3 Fatty Acids Bend the Risk Trajectory?"

Episode Synopsis

🩺 New insights in hemodialysis care. A major New England Journal of Medicine study reports that daily supplementation with long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid) led to a 43% reduction in serious cardiovascular events among adults receiving maintenance hemodialysis. 🐟💙   In a population where traditional cardioprotective therapies often fall short, these findings open a fresh path for investigation — and perhaps, future practice. 📉🔬 A confirmatory trial will be essential, but the signal is compelling. 🌅
