This table is a comprehensive list of the relationships with industry and other entities (RWI)―regardless of relevance to the document topic―disclosed by each writing committee member for the 12 months prior to the initial meeting of the writing committee and up through the completion of the document. The table does not necessarily reflect the RWI of the writing committee members at the time of publication. Please refer to the HRS Code of Ethics and Professionalism for definitions of disclosure categories or additional information about the HRS policy on the disclosure of relationships with industry and other entities. To mitigate potential bias and conflict of interest, the recommendations and supportive text were written by writing committee members who were free of relevant RWI.

*Research and fellowship support are classed as programmatic support. Sources of programmatic support are disclosed but are not regarded as a relevant relationship with industry for writing group members or reviewers.

†Dr. Ayala‐Paredes stepped down from the writing committee in July 2022 when he developed a new role in industry, which precluded him from participation in the development of the document. Dr. Ayala‐Paredes was one of the authors for Section 9, Remote Monitoring Reporting. He left the writing committee before recommendations were developed in this section. After his departure, this section was re‐reviewed by the section lead/authors and the document chairs, and the evidence for this section was re‐reviewed by the document methodologists.

AAS = American Autonomic Society; CCS = Canadian Cardiovascular Society; CIHR = Canadian Institute of Health Research; EHRA = European Heart Rhythm Society.
