Trends in smoking cessation counseling: experience from American Heart Association-get with the guidelines.

abstract：AIMS:Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality has decreased over 60% over the past 50 years in the United States; however, emerging data indicate CVD incidence may be rising because of shifting demographics, increasing risk factor prevalence, and competing needs for limited resources. We projected CVD mortality from 2015...
