Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids have been effective in reducing cardiovascular mortality in the recent GISSI-Prevenzione study. In a post-hoc analysis of this study an important observation has been the reduction of sudden cardiac death. The hypothesis that a protection from sudden death occurs because of antiarrhythmic effects of omega-3 fatty acids is supported by studies on cellular and animal models. A few intervention studies before the GISSI-Prevenzione and several retrospective analyses of epidemiological studies, in which nutritional variables connected with the intake of omega-3 fatty acids had been recorded, also support such a hypothesis. This review critically summarizes this type of evidence and indicates current research directions for its further validation.
