Presence of acute coronary syndrome in patients distributed by their serum levels of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. ACS was significantly associated with the lower tertile of EPA in A (p<0.001) and of DPA in B (p<0.001). EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid; DPA, docosapentaenoic acid; DHA, docosahexaenoic acid.

Representative images of conventional intravascular ultrasound and integrated backscatter color-coded maps of coronary artery plaques in patients with lipid-rich plaques and those with non lipid-rich plaques. The lipid and fibrous volumes were 63.3% and 35.8% in panel A, and 37.9% and 60.4% in panel B, respectively. Blue, lipid pool; green yellow, fibrous lesion; red, calcified lesion.
