infarction were given 20 ml cod liver oil a day for six
weeks, either immediately after the control period,
weeks 0-6 (n= 10), or during weeks 6-12 (n = 8). 48 hour
Holter monitoring was carried out before cod liver oil
administration and at the end of weeks 6 and 12. The
eicosapantaenoic acid content of plasma phospholipids
was increased by 230% during cod liver oil
administration. However, no significant change was
observed in the 24 hour prevalence of ventricular
extrasystoles or other arrhythmias during the study
period. The mean ln number of ventricular extrasystoles
was 2,95 ±0.51 (SD) during cod liver oil ingestion and
2,63 ±0.30 off cod liver oil.
