 Fish oil is cardioprotective
Roberto Marchioli, MD who presented results of the GISSI study at the American College of Cardiology 48th Annual Scientific Session, said there was a statistically significant 20% relative reduction of mortality with the addition of 1 g of omega-3 fish oil supplement to a Mediterranean diet.
Vogel, who moderated a press conference on the GISSI trial, noted the on-going debate about the efficacy of the Mediterranean diet.
Studies conducted in the 1950s and 1960s showed that Mediterranean countries with diets rich in fruits and vegetables, pasta, red wine, fish and olive oil had a very low incidence of heart disease although cholesterol levels were high.

 GISSI Clinical Trials
In the ten years since their beginning, the GISSI studies have obtained wide recognition in the international world of cardiology and are considered a methodological landmark.
GISSI has accelerated this process: currently, the use of thrombolysis in patients with acute myocardial infarction is widespread (GISSI-3 data) and surely more common than that observed in CCUs in the USA and in Canada.
In GISSI Prevention quality control of laboratory tests is planned.

 Letters to the Editor on the GISSI Prevenzione Trial
In line with the GISSI data, infarct size, the main determinant of non-sudden cardiac death, was larger in the supplemented group: 58·5% of the area-at-risk (ischaemic myocardium) against 41·9% in controls (p<0·05).
Such ambivalent effects might explain why in many studies of vitamin E the effects of supplementation were neutral or not significant, the negative effects masking the beneficial effects.
Cardiovascular mortality was significantly reduced by vitamin E in GISSI and the effect on overall survival showed a very favourable trend.

 Effective Clinical Practice - Vitamin E: As in Effective?
The enthusiasm for vitamin E use was fueled by the publication of the CHAOS results 4 years ago.
Thanks to the GISSI and the HOPE investigators, in the past year we have been given data that are more conclusive.
The GISSI investigators, in contrast to the CHAOS investigators, found no effect whatsoever on nonfatal cardiovascular events.

After much pains-taking, I have, by the aid of the interpreters, Ferry, Covey, and Pratt, succeeded in settling three points, which, taken together, determine with sufficient precision the location of the Mendi country.
For this we have (1.) the testimony of John Ferry, who is a native of Gissi, that the Gissi country is bounded on the south by the Mendi country, and that the river Ma-ku-na flows from the Gissi into the Mendi country.
It follows from the preceding statement, although we are unable to identify the rivers Mo-a and Se-wa, that the country of Gissi is situated on the sources of the waters of Bullom and Vai, and that the Mendi country lies between Gissi on the north, and Bullom and Vai on the south.

Table 1 summarizes the structure, organization and outcomes of the Chicago, GISSI and Lyon studies.
The investigators of the GISSI trial assessed the patient’s dietary habits with questionnaires.
Thus, the 300 mg vitamin E would not have had the same beneficial effect on CHD risk factors such as inhibition of LDL-cholesterol oxidation, in this population as was found in other studies.

In the Diet and Reinfarction Trial (DART), men recovering from myocardial infarction who were randomized to receive dietary advice to increase fatty fish consumption had a 29% reduction in all-cause mortality at 2-year follow-up.
GISSI patients randomized to receive omega-3 fatty acid supplements (1 g/d) had a significant 10–15% reduction in the combined primary endpoint of death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and stroke.
In order to explore the effects of "GISSI doses" of omega-3 FA (i.e., about 850 mg/d) on parameters that might be associated with reduced risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD), we recently conducted a study in 18 white male patients with CHD.

The first contract, worth more than €300m ($383m), is with Abruzzoenergia S.p.A. to supply an 800 MW power plant at Gissi, in the Abruzzo region of central Italy.
Gissi is a 'fast-track' project, where Alstom will construct the power plant much more quickly than usual power plant projects.
Gissi and Scandale follow another Alstom project announced in October last year for the construction of a GT26-based power plant for Energia SpA at Modugno, southern Italy.

One of the most important of these is the GISSI Prevention Trial, a study involving 11,300 Italians who survived a heart attack.
Those who received a daily one-gram supplement of purified fish oil experienced a 21 percent reduction in death, and an astounding 45 percent reduction in sudden cardiac death.
The CardioTabs Omega-3 supplement is formulated by our cardiologists to be similar to that used in the GISSI study.

ITALY, May, 2000 - Italian researchers have found that daily doses of the essential fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic (EPA), docosahexaenoic (DHA) and gamma-linolenic acid help reduce the chances of a second or third myocardial infarction (heart attack) by as much as 45%.
The purpose of the GISSI study was to investigate the effects of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E on cardiovascular events post myocardial infarction.
The ratio used in the GISSI study was 32/27 EPA/DHA.

Effects of omega-3 fatty acids in diabetic patients in the GISSI prevenzione study
In non-diabetic subjects, intakes of 2 g or less have produced a 3% increase in LDL-C on average, similar to that seen in the GISSI Prevenzione study.
The prospective DART and GISSI trials, however, provide good evidence that even low doses of n-3 PUFA likely benefit hemostasis in patients with vascular disease.

The Gruppo Italiano per lo Studio della Sopravvivenza nell'Infarto Miocardico (GISSI), born from the collaboration between the Mario Negri Institute and the Associazione Nazionale dei Medici Cardiologi Ospedalieri (ANMCO), is considered today one of the most characterized research team in the cardiovascular field.
Now it could be that the Italians who ate the most butter had other negative lifestyle habits - or it could be that they had better lifestyle habits.
