Higher rates of atrial fibrillation were observed with omega-3 fatty acid intake compared to placebo or corn oil in the Omey 1000 and Vital Rhythm studies.

“there are multiple trials they state here including the strength trial 13 000 high-risk patients receiving 4 grams a day of omega-3 fatty acids which is a combination of epa and dha or corn oil as a placebo not excited about either of those things but after a median of 42 months no significant difference between the two randomized groups in the primary composite cardiovascular endpoint showing that well fish oil was just as bad as corn oil perhaps but there was an increase in the risk of developing atrial fibrillation in the omega-3 fatty acids compared to the cornell group which was 2.2 percent versus 1.3 percent the p-value was less than .001”

“in a third trial omey one thousand and twenty seven older patients found that there was again an increase in the rates of atrial fibrillation the p-value was .06 perhaps not quite significant um but there was a an increase versus cornhill and the vital rhythm study published in this issue of jama this march 16 2021 issue of jama 12 thousand participants after a median of five point three years the incidence of atrial fibrillation was seven point two per one thousand persons and those taking omega six omega three fatty acids excuse me versus six point six to one thousand and those taking the placebo now this p value was not significant but again there was an increase”
