Abstract

Objective

The current systematic review aimed to assess the impact of smoking cessation counseling (SCC) on patients’ short- and long-term mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Methods

The Cochrane guidelines were used to conduct a systematic review of Medline (PubMed), ScienceDirect, CINAHL Cochrane database, and Google Scholar for studies on the impact of SCC on AMI patients’ mortality.

Results

Five studies were found to meet the predefined inclusion criteria. Smoker patients were not routinely counseled to quit smoking during their post-AMI hospital stay. Studies showed a reduction in mortality among AMI patients’ who received SCC compared with patients who did not receive it.

Conclusions

SCC during hospitalization and after discharge is a simple and cost-effective intervention that improves AMI patients’ survival.
