Abstract

Smoking is the most important modifiable cardiovascular risk factor causes around approximately one of every 4 cardiovascular-related deaths worldwide. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is the standard way of management of heart diseases after myocardial infraction. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of cardiovascular patients' quit smoking after participation in CR. PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, and google scholar were searched systematically. In total, 18 studies were analyzed. Results showed that the mean age of smokers' were 54.80 (52.06, 57.55), and of them 53 % (22%, 83%) quit smoking after participating in CR. Subgroup analysis showed that among type of CR the most effective one was the educational along with physical exercise (comprehensive CR) cause 99% (98%, 100%) smoking cessation (SC). Group-based methods with76% (57%, 94%) of quitters showed to be more effective than individual-based. It can be concluded that CR has been effective in terms of smoking cessation.
