Creatine phosphate and atrial fibrillation:
Creatine has been shown to have lower rates of arrhythmias before and after heart surgery, but creatine phosphate has not been studied yet for use in atrial fibrillation, but should be investigated. Three days before surgery, creatine phosphate supplementation showed improved heart function after bypass surgery with less ventricular arrhythmias and reduced use of inotropic drugs (66). Creatine phosphate given during cardiac surgery and the early postoperative period reduced CK and CKMB levels plus resulted in a lower percentage of arrhythmias compared to controls (67).
Omega-3 fatty acids and stroke:
Omega-3 fatty acids appear to have more benefits in improvement of heart disease than stroke. Many benefits of omega-3 fish oil are included below, but research is mixed showing many trials and meta-analyses with positive findings, but others lacked in showing a benefit. Also, please see the coronary artery disease section for more information.
