In a representative series of male patients with primary myocardial infarction the prevalence of smokers prior to infarction was higher than in representative population samples. The difference decreased with increasing age, Those patients generally had a somewhat more severe clinical course than those who continued to smoke. Nevertheless, those who stopped had only half the rate of non-fatal recurrences (P smaller than 0.01) and half the cardiovascular mortality-rate (P smaller than 0.05) of those who continued to smoke.
在一组具有代表性的男性原发性心肌梗死患者中，梗死前吸烟者的比例高于代表性人群样本。这种差异随着年龄的增长而减小。这些患者的临床病程通常比继续吸烟者略为严重。然而，戒烟者的非致命复发率仅为继续吸烟者的一半（P<0.01），心血管死亡率也为继续吸烟者的一半（P<0.05）。
