ABSTRACT:
Methods and compositions for the prevention of imminent ventricular fibrillation are disclosed. The composition comprises eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), or a mixture of EPA and DHA. The composition may be administered by intravenous infusion, intracardial injection or both in a patient who presents symptoms of a condition, such as myocardial infarction, which may immediately lead to ventricular fibrillation.
