  Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by unfavorable cardiac and vascular remodeling. The study aimed at evaluating effects of 6-month supplementation with omega-3 on blood pressure, left ventricular geometry and function, and arterial properties in patients with CKD 1-3. Methods: Six-month supplementation with omega-3 acids (2 g/day) was completed in 87 CKD patients, and in 27 individuals without CKD, hypertension or overt cardiovascular disease. At baseline and after supplementation, an echocardiographic examination was performed, evaluating left ventricular mass index (LVMI), left ventricular relative wall thickness (RWT), and ejection fraction (EF). Ultrasound imaging of the common carotid artery with intima media thickness (IMT), aortic pulse wave velocity measurement (PWV) and 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (ABPM.. Read More»
