Plain-language summary
Study Description:
Background: Well-known fact that the number of cardiovascular diseases is on the rise during influenza epidemic. It is conceivable that influenza may precipitate plaque rupture, increase cytokines with central roles in plaque destabilization and trigger the coagulation cascade. A number of studies have shown that the risk of cardiovascular complications (ACS, stroke, CHF decompensation, cardiac arrhythmias) seem to be reduced following influenza vaccination. The Influenza Vaccination After Myocardial Infarction study data published in September 2021 have demonstrated a significant decrease of mortality (by 40%) during 1 year of follow-up in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) who has been vaccinated during the first 72 hours.
Objective: the objective is to find out whether influenza vaccination protects against cardiovascular events and death in ACS \& CHF patients vaccinated during hospitalization Methods: Population: 400 patients aged 65 and older with acute coronary syndrome are randomized 1:1 and followed up via telephone calls and registries (AIS "Mortality").
Patients will be included in the study in cardiology departments № 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 of the State Budgetary Healthcare Institution "Samara Regional Clinical Cardiology Dispensary named after V.P. Polyakov" Intervention: Influenza vaccination. Control: group of unvaccinated patients. Planned study period is 1 year.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
