Abstract: A survey on clinical knowledge of coronary artery disease (CAD) management in general practitioners (GPs) in Beijing was conducted from March to September,2013.The questionnaire contained 4 cases (stable angina pectoris,post-percutaneous coronary intervention,acute anterior myocardial infarction and acute inferior myocardial infarction) and related clinical questions.Five hundred questionnaires were distributed and 471 valid questionnaires were returned with a recovery rate of 94.2％.The correct rate was 87.3％ and 61.8％ for diagnosis and treatment of emergent events in acute anterior myocardial infarction; however,the correct rate for other knowledge was ranged between 23.4％ and 40.6％.The correct rate increased with the educational levels in 5/11 items(P ＜ 0.01)and increased with the professional titles(P ＜ 0.001)in 3/11 items,which was not associated with the attendance of training or frequency of training attendance.The results indicate that clinical knowledge of CAD management for GPs in Beijing should be improved and the training methods should be focused on the clinical capacity.
