Impact of smoking cessation on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries.

ABSTRACT:

Background

: Smoking is a preventable risk factor for incident cardiovascular disease. The impact of smoking status and potential benefits of smoking cessation in a distinct population with myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) remain poorly understood.

Methods

: In this prospective single-center cohort study, 1179 patients with MINOCA were classified as non-, ex-, or current smokers based on smoking status at baseline. Current smokers were further categorized as persistent smokers or quitters due to their continued tobacco use or cessation within 1 year after MI. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a composite of death, nonfatal MI, stroke, revascularization, and hospitalization for unstable angin
