Does current smoking impact all-cause mortality and MI in patients with MINOCA?
Smoking is an independent risk factor for long-term mortality in MINOCA patients, and the apparent 'smoker's paradox' of lower crude mortality is driven by the younger age and fewer comorbidities of smokers.

This study showed that lower 36‑month crude rates of death among the smokers (comparing to non-smokers) may be explained by a significantly lower burden of traditional risk factors and younger age of smokers. After adjusting for baseline differences, tobacco use remained an independent risk factor for 36‑month mortality.
Koźlik et al. (Tue,) conducted a observational in Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries (MINOCA) (n=6,045). Smoking vs. Non-smoking was evaluated on 36-month all-cause mortality (HR 1.23, 95% CI 1.03-1.47, p=0.02). After adjusting for baseline differences, smoking was an independent risk factor for 36-month mortality (HR 1.23) in patients with myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries.
