ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how well cardiologists in China understand the importance of flu vaccinations for patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS), which is a condition that affects heart health. The goal is to find out what doctors know about flu shots, where there might be misunderstandings, and what factors influence their recommendations to patients. By gathering this information, the study aims to improve education for doctors and help them better manage CCS patients, ultimately reducing the risk of serious complications from the flu.

To participate in this study, doctors need to be licensed cardiologists who have a good understanding of how flu vaccinations relate to heart diseases. Unfortunately, doctors from other specialties, like surgery or emergency medicine, will not be included. The study will involve filling out a questionnaire, and while it is not yet recruiting participants, it is an important step toward ensuring that heart patients receive the best possible care during flu season.
