• Abstract:

  Goal: To evaluate the prevalence of smoking in patients who have suffered acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation. Results: The findings of this study suggested that predictors of plaque erosion varied with different smoking status in patients with STEMI and broaden clinicians' understanding of clinical and lesion predictors of plaque erosion, especially in relation to smoking.  Conclusion: In current smokers, diabetes mellitus was negatively associated with plaque erosion compared with plaque rupture. In nonsmokers, higher MLA and close bifurcation were positively related to plaque erosion, but not to plaque rupture. Compared to plaque rupture, the correlation between plaque erosion and current smoking complements clinicians' understanding of plaque erosion. There was a strong indication of the relationship between smoking and the development of STEMI.
