My advice is to ask your cardiologist. The next time you see him or her, take a list of questions you would like to have answered. I have always heard that fish, like salmon, is very good for the heart, but your doctor needs to confirm this for you.

Broad answer to your broad question is that fish oil supplements may have some effect, but from what I have read it appears be insignificant.
