Does the continuation of smoking increase the recurrence of cardiac events in young patients (≤ 35 years) with acute myocardial infarction?
Continued smoking is the strongest predictor of recurrent cardiac events in young patients following an acute myocardial infarction.
Persistence of smoking is the most powerful predictor for the recurrence of cardiac events in patients with premature AMI.
Rallidis et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
