摘要Objective: The current systematic review aimed to assess the impact of smoking cessation counseling (SCC) on patients' short- and long-term mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods: The Cochrane guidelines were used to conduct a systematic review of Medline (PubMed), ScienceDirect, CINAHL Cochrane database, and Google Scholar for studies on the impact of SCC on AMI patients' mor tality. Results: Five studies were found to meet the predefined inclusion criteria. Smoker patients were not routinely counseled to quit smoking during their post-AMI hospital stay. Studies showed a reduction in mor tality among AMI patients' who received SCC compared with patients who did not receive it. Conclusions: SCC during hospitalization and after discharge is a simple and cost-effective intervention that improves AMI patients' survival.
