Awareness and involvement in the vaccination of patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases

Background
Inflammation and infection are strongly linked to acute cardiovascular events, including acute coronary syndromes and heart failure. Vaccination could provide simple, affordable protection for this vulnerable population. However, vaccination rates remain low worldwide. There is limited knowledge about awareness, current guidelines, and potential preventive measures.
This survey aims to assess your awareness and involvement in the vaccination of patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases.
The data collected will be owned by the ESC and will be treated anonymously by the ESC. The ESC may use the anonymised data for dissemination, including publication and presentation.
