Effect of High Dose Fish Oil Supplementation After Recent Heart Attack Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Summary

Doctors use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to obtain detailed pictures of the inside of the body. This study will evaluate a new MRI technique in people who have recently had a heart attack. Researchers will also examine the effect of fish oil supplementation on heart health in study participants.
