What fats affect heart inflammation after a stent?
High omega-3 fatty acids and low omega-6/omega-3 ratio but not polyphenols in diet decrease inflammatory markers in men with chronic coronary syndrome treated with percutaneous coronary intervention.

After getting a stent, some men ate more omega-3 fats (like fish oil) and less omega-6 fats (like vegetable oil), and their blood showed less inflammation. Eating plant foods with polyphenols didn't change inflammation.
No biological mechanisms were identified in this study. This may be an epidemiological, observational, or survey-based study that reports associations rather than proposing causal biological pathways.

People with heart disease who eat more omega-3s—like those found in fish—tend to have lower levels of two blood markers that show inflammation, which might mean omega-3s help calm down their body’s inflammatory response.
Eating more omega-3s (like fish oil) and fewer omega-6s (like vegetable oils) might help reduce inflammation and blood clotting risks in heart patients after a stent, and it’s not just about getting more omega-3s—it’s about the right mix of both.
Eating too many omega-6 fats (like in vegetable oils) compared to omega-3 fats (like in fish) can make your body more inflamed, which can damage your blood vessels and lead to clogged arteries over time.
