Objectives Previous studies have found an apparent paradox in smokers: acute phase
outcomes after an acute myocardial infarction are superior to those of nonsmokers …

Background: The “smoker's paradox” is an otherwise unexplained phenomenon in which the
mortality of smokers after acute myocardial infarction is reduced, contrary to expectations. It …

Background: Current smokers have lower mortality following acute myocardial infarction
(AMI) than non-smokers. This is often referred to as the 'smokers' paradox'. Our study …

Aims Habitual cigarette smokers, paradoxically, present improved short-term prognosis after
acute myocardial infarction, a phenomenon often termed 'smoker's paradox'. We sought to …

Background: Cigarette smoking has been shown to be associated with a decreased risk of
death after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which is also known as the “smokers' paradox.” …

OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine the relationship between cigarette smoking and
outcomes after mechanical reperfusion therapy in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) …

Materials and Methods: A total of 27,648 AMI patients were analyzed from the cardiology
registry at Heart Hospital, Doha, Qatar. This spans from January 1991 to May 2022. Results …

PURPOSE: To determine the impact of cigarette smoking on the presentation, treatment, and
in-hospital outcomes of patients admitted with the full spectrum of acute coronary …

Background A protective role of smoking in terms of mortality after acute myocardial
infarction treated with thrombolytic agents was recently suggested, and this was attributed to …

Background Several studies have shown a 'smoker's paradox', where following an acute
myocardial infarction, smokers have a paradoxically lower mortality than non-smokers. To …
