Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialRandomized controlled trial of two cigarette quit programmes in coronary care patients after acute myocardial infarction.
Tobacco cessation after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) substantially improves outcome but how effective individual programmes are needs to be established. To date, few studies have examined this factor. ⋯ The SF smoking cessation programme initiated in hospital can significantly reduce smoking rates at 12 months after myocardial infarction. Although superior to the UC quit programme, Australian outcomes were lower than the American programme originators' published outcomes.
