In response to a study in the European Journal of Heart Failure on fish oils and the incidence of heart failure, British Heart Foundation (BHF) Senior Cardiac Nurse June Davison said:
"This study found that eating oily fish did not offer protection against heart failure - although for people with diabetes a possible protective effect was found. However we need further research to confirm this.
"We already know that eating oily fish such as salmon, mackerel or sardines can help prevent coronary heart disease.
"To help protect your heart health you should eat one-two portions of oily fish, each week. If you have had a heart attack you should aim to increase this to two or three portions each week."
