Why the study?
The study was conducted to evaluate whether smoking influences the incidence of inferior wall MI and to determine whether an association exists between smoking and inferior wall myocardial infarction.
Does smoking influence the incidence of inferior wall myocardial infarction in patients with no other cardiovascular risk factors?
Does smoking influence the incidence of inferior wall myocardial infarction in patients with no other cardiovascular risk factors?
This study aims to determine if smoking specifically predisposes patients without other cardiovascular risk factors to inferior wall myocardial infarction.

Hypothesis-generating for smoking as specific risk for inferior MI without other factors; leaves open confirmation in prospective studies.
Smoking is an independent risk factor for ischemic heart disease and acute myocardial infarction. Smoking raise both heart rate and blood pressure, thus increasing myocardial oxygen demand, moreover it also decreases the dimension of coronary vessel and coronary blood flow. Inferior wall Myocardial Infarction is consequence of disease in usually Right coronary artery, whereas anterior wall Myocardial Infarction is usually disease in left coronary artery. The aim of the study is to evaluate whether smoking influence the incidence of inferior wall MI (Right coronary artery). Study objective was to find out whether there was an association between smoking and inferior wall Myocardial Infarction and an early association of atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease with smoking.
