Smoking and prognosis after acute myocardial infarction in the thrombolytic era (Israeli thrombolytic national survey)

Abstract: In our nationwide survey, the seemingly better prognosis of smokers early after acute myocardial infarction was no longer evident after adjustment for baseline and clinical variables and may be explained by their younger age and a more favorable risk profile. Smokers develop acute myocardial infarction a decade earlier than nonsmokers. Efforts to lower the prevalence of smoking should continue.

“…However, this finding is consistent with previous data supporting a "smoker's paradox" whereby smokers have greater post-MI survival and lower rates of revascularization after PCI than nonsmokers and may be related to unmeasured confounding. [21][22][23] More importantly, we found that associations between sociopsychological factors and unplanned rehospitalizations are independent of, and potentially more significant than, traditional risk factors; our findings may help to identify MI patients at risk for unplanned rehospitalization. Poor quality of life, which has been associated with readmission in heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease populations, [24][25][26] was the factor most strongly correlated with unplanned rehospitalizations in our MI population.…”

“…La definició n de exfumadores aplicada en publicaciones previas es casi siempre arbitraria y el intervalo considerado desde el abandono del tabaquismo puede variar desde 1 13,23 , 4 17 y 12 meses 16 o incluso no mencionarse 10,15 . Algunos estudios diseñ ados má s específica-mente han demostrado que las alteraciones del perfil lipídico asociadas al tabaquismo se pueden normalizar en el primer mes tras el abandono del tabaco 27 , pero la normalizació n de la disfunció n endotelial puede perdurar hasta 6 meses despué s 28 y algunas alteraciones hematoló gicas pueden mantenerse hasta 5 añ os despué s 29 .…”

“…En nuestro estudio, los exfumadores presentaron má s frecuentemente EPOC, SCACEST y la mayor incidencia del objetivo combinado de angina, insuficiencia cardiaca o muerte, a pesar de tener la misma tasa de mortalidad; este hallazgo explicaría que, en conjunto, el grupo de no fumadores (nunca fumadores y exfumadores juntos) tenga una elevada tasa de complicaciones, pero por la influencia de los exfumadores. Este hecho podría ser clave para contradecir la denominada ''paradoja del tabaquismo'', como ya han apuntado algunos otros estudios 15 .…”
