Study on Adherence to 2019 European Society of Cardiology Guidelines for Chronic Coronary Syndrome in Adults

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating how well healthcare professionals follow the 2019 European Society of Cardiology ESC Guidelines for managing Chronic Coronary Syndrome CCS. This observational study aims to understand adherence levels across different healthcare settings and regions, as well as identify barriers and factors that help guideline implementation. It focuses on adults with suspected or confirmed CCS, including various patient categories such as those with angina, heart failure, or recent acute coronary events. The study involves enrolling adult patients receiving usual care for CCS without extra interventions beyond standard treatment. Participants come from diverse healthcare settings including hospitals, outpatient clinics, and primary care. The study includes two visits an enrollment visit and a follow-up visit three months later. During this time, researchers collect information about how closely care follows the ESC guidelines across different patient groups and settings. Participants will be involved in assessments at enrollment and after three months to evaluate guideline adherence and explore regional and demographic differences. The study also seeks to identify barriers and facilitators affecting guideline use, including access to cardiovascular care among different sex and ethnic groups. The main outcome is the level of adherence to the ESC guidelines over the study period, monitored without additional treatments or procedures beyond usual care.
