The work of the writing committee was supported exclusively by the ACC without commercial support. Writing committee members volunteered their time to this effort. Conference calls of the writing committee were confidential and attended only by committee members. To avoid actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest resulting from relationships with industry and other entities (RWI) held by writing committee members or peer reviewers of the document, individuals were required to disclose all current health care-related relationships, including those existing 12 months before initiation of the writing effort. The ACC Competency Management Committee reviewed these disclosures to identify products (currently marketed or under development) pertinent to the document topic. Based on this information, the writing committee was selected to ensure that the majority of members, including the chair, had no relevant RWI. RWI was reviewed at the start of all meetings and conference calls and was updated as changes occurred. Relevant RWI for authors is disclosed in Appendix 1 . To ensure transparency, comprehensive RWI for authors, including RWI not pertinent to this document, is available in a Supplemental Appendix . Employment information and affiliations of the peer reviewers are shown in Appendix 2 . There are no RWI restrictions for participation in peer review, in the interest of encouraging comments from a variety of constituencies to ensure that a broad range of viewpoints inform final document content. Reviewers are required, however, to disclose all health care-related RWI and other entities, and their disclosure information is posted online. Disclosure information for the ACC Competency Management Committee is available online at http://www.acc.org/guidelines/about-guidelines-and-clinical-documents/guidelines-and-documents-task-forces , and the ACC disclosure policy for document development is posted at http://www.acc.org/guidelines/about-guidelines-and-clinical-documents/relationships-with-industry-policy .
