[Efficacy of an intervention in smoking cessation in patients with myocardial infarction].
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of an structured intervention based on a medical advice versus to the ordinary anti-tobacco advice in patients with miocardial infarction who are attended in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). ⋯ The percentage of patients who stop smoking after a miocardial infarction is high. The structured medical counselling was not effective to reduce the number of smokers at one year.
