Translating plasma eicosapentaenoic acid concentrations into erythrocyte percentages of eicosapentaenoic acid plus docosahexaenoic acid during treatment with icosapent ethyl

Abstract
The Reduction of Cardiovascular Events with Icosapent Ethyl-Intervention Trial (REDUCE-IT) study demonstrated that 4 g/d of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) ethyl esters (icosapent ethyl [IPE]) reduced risk for major cardiovascular events by 25% in statin-treated patients with residual hypertriglyceridemia. How this treatment affected red blood cell (RBC) EPA and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels (ie, the Omega-3 Index [O3I]) was not reported, but...
