Objective To explore the effect of smoking status on longterm cardiovascular adverse events in male patients with heart failure. Methods A total of ninetyeight male patients with heart failure diagnosed between January 2013 and June 2018 were enrolled in the study. The patients' age, body mass index, course of disease, cardiac function grading, blood pressure, heart rate, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), history of underlying diseases and medication were recorded. Patients were divided into those who had never smoked, those who had quit smoking and those who were current smokers according to their smoking status. The patients were followed up for one year until June 30, 2019, and their clinical outcomes were recorded. Major cardiovascular adverse events included heart failure, death and cardiogenic death requiring hospitalization. Multivariate COX regression was used to analyze the effects of smoking status on longterm cardiovascular adverse events. Results In this study, 40 patients(40.82%) had never smoked, 39 (39.80%) had quit smoking, and 19 (19.39%) were current smokers.The difference of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, beta receptor blockers in patients with different smoking status was statistically significant(P<0.05). A oneyear followup showed there were statistically significant differences in the incidence of heart failure, allcause death and cardiac death among patients with different smoking status who required hospitalization (P<0.05C). The results of multivariate COX regression analysis showed that after excluding other factors, smoking was currently a risk factor for heart failure, allcause death and cardiogenic death requiring hospitalization(P<0.05). Conclusion At present, smoking is a risk factor for longterm hospitalization, allcause death and cardiogenic death in male patients with heart failure. Clinicians should conduct health education for patients with heart failure and urge them to quit smoking to promote their longterm prognosis.
