Abstract

Attention deficit disorder with and without hyperactivity (ADHD) in children is associated with decreased 24-h heart rate variability (HRV). Previous research has shown that supplementation of omega-3-fatty acid increases HRV. Here, we aimed to investigate whether the supplementation of omega-3-fatty acids would increase 24-h HRV in an uncontrolled case series of children with ADHD. HRV was recorded in 18 children and adolescents (age 13.35 ± 2.8 years) before and after omega-3 supplementation. Preliminary results indicate that omega-3 supplementation in children with AD(H)D may reduce mean heart rate and increase its variability. Future studies would do well to implement randomized, placebo-controlled designs with greater methodological rigor.

The selection of parameters was limited during the review process. Upon request, the authors provide additional data on the standard deviation of RR intervals (SDNN), the percentage of pairs of adjacent RR intervals differing by more than 50 ms (pNN50), very low frequency (VLF, < .04 Hz), and low frequency (LF, .04–.15 Hz) HRV.
