[Screening for iron deficiency and pneumococcal vaccination: What role do they play in community cardiology?].

This article presents a single-center, cross-sectional, descriptive epidemiological field study evaluating the screening for iron deficiency and pneumococcal prevention by community cardiologists in patients with heart failure. In total, 90% of the practitioners surveyed reported being familiar with the European Society of Cardiology's recommendations regarding iron deficiency screening, but only 60% perform it at least once a year. In contrast, 90% do not assess the patient's pneumococcal vaccination status. Nearly all respondents stated they are willing to collaborate with an advanced practice nurse.
