Trials found more atrial fibrillation with marine omega-3 supplements, higher above 1 g a day; prescription labels mention possible more frequent recurrences in people with existing AF.
- Krill oilDocumented risk
Marine omega-3 supplements were linked to more atrial fibrillation in trials, mainly above 1 g a day; krill-specific risk is unknown.

In the REDUCE-IT trial of high-dose EPA, hospitalisation for atrial fibrillation or flutter was more common than with placebo (3.1% vs 2.1%).
