Association Between a Ban on Smoking in a Hospital and the In-Hospital Onset of Acute Myocardial Infarction.

摘要: Background: Smoking is an important cardiovascular risk. We hypothesized that a ban on smoking in hospital could decrease the in-hospital onset of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: Our provided separate facilities for smokers and nonsmokers from 1981 to 2002. From 2002 2006, we began introduce smoke-free zones throughout entire building. During this period, areas tables were abolished, until became non-smoking area 2007. registered patients who experienced AMI January June 2014. Patients with defined as those had but not under care Departments Cardiology or Emergency. observed 25 (males/females, 16/9; average age, 70 years) Results: The incidence significantly decreased stages progressed (P trend 0.010). Six died after AMI. death group showed higher serum levels peak creatine kinase lower hemoglobin. In addition, 10 developed surgery. Anti-coagulant therapy was canceled before operation three patients. After operation, advanced anemia seen four there no differences patient characteristics between groups except dyslipidemia. Conclusion: spread policy our hospital, which suggests only direct also passive target reducing Cardiol Res. 2015;6(3):278-282 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.14740/cr404e
