Below is a comprehensive article on diet, supplements and Afib. It is easy to understand and for those interested it is contains abundant amount of information.

As for taking nut oils as a supplement I know of no nut oils that are used as a supplement like in a pill. Using health oils in dietary cooking and preparing foods is different than taking oils as a supplement. The only oil that is known to be used for cardiovascular health is flax seed oil. Note that flax seed oil and some other nut oils are high in alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid. Fish such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines provide the other forms of omega-3s (eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid).
As a prostate cancer survivor x 24 years I have learned to carefully limit consuming high amounts of α-linolenic acid because it is associated with a significant increase in risk of prostate cancer.
