Is It Safe To Take Fish Oil Despite Having PVCs?

I take 6.25 ml carvidilol for pvc's ( had a successful cardiac ablation for both SVT and Ventricular Tachycardia a year ago, but still had lots of pvc's a post ablation). I also take one baby aspirin daily for mild CAD ( 30 to 50 % blockage in LAD ( discovered prior to ablation, no symptoms.)

I also take 2 grams of fish oil a day, is this something I would be safe to continue? My cardiologist seems to have no opinion on this.

Hello and thanks for contacting HCM. Yes fish oil is safe and considered by many to be healthy for the heart. However it is better to get fish oils from eating fish 2-3 times a week than taking supplements. Good health to you.
