N2 - Purpose Several epidemiological published data support the protective role of omega-3 consumption in coronary artery disease, sudden cardiac death and ventricular arrhythmias, but interestingly, this is not the case for atrial arrhythmias. The purpose of this study is to evaluate different fatty acid profile between AF/AFL subjects and healthy controls. Methods Gas chromatography was employed to determine fatty acid percentage of erythrocyte membranes from 40 idiopathic AFL/AF patients and 53 healthy control subjects. Results AFL/AF erythrocyte membranes had significantly lower percentage of saturated fatty acid (43.1±SD2.2 versus 47.8±SD9.6, p
