Study population: Responses from cardiologists across various regions, age groups, professional titles, and experience levels in China, as collected in the survey.

Brief summary: This long-term single-center cross-sectional study evaluates physicians' knowledge of influenza vaccination in CCS patients through collected feedback, while identifying knowledge gaps and misconceptions regarding vaccination. By analyzing factors influencing physicians' recommendation practices, it provides evidence to guide future educational and policy interventions. Ultimately, the study aims to enhance cardiologists' vaccination awareness, thereby optimizing CCS patient management and reducing influenza-associated complications and mortality.

Detailed description: This project conducts a comprehensive literature review to examine current research and practices regarding influenza vaccination for chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) patients among cardiologists worldwide. The review provides theoretical support for study design and helps identify potential causes of low vaccination rates among CCS patients in China.Based on research objectives, investigators developed a structured questionnaire covering four key dimensions:Basic demographic information、Knowledge assessment、Clinical practice patterns、Attitudes and recommendations.The survey targets cardiologists from major Chinese hospitals, employing random or stratified sampling to ensure representative sampling. Data collection will be conducted through online and offline questionnaire distribution.Statistical analysis will be performed using SPSS or equivalent software, including:Descriptive statistics、t-tests、Chi-square tests to examine how different background factors influence knowledge and practices.Findings will systematically summarize Chinese cardiologists' current understanding and behavioral patterns regarding influenza vaccination for CCS patients.
