This table represents relevant relationships of participants with industry and other entities that were reported at the time this document was under development. The table does not necessarily reflect relationships with industry at the time of publication

A person has a relevant relationship IF: the relationship or interest relates to the same or similar subject matter, intellectual property or asset, topic, or issue addressed in the document; the company/entity (with whom the relationship exists) makes a drug, drug class, or device addressed in the document, or makes a competing drug or device addressed in the document; or the person or a member of the person’s household has a reasonable potential for financial, professional, or other personal gain or loss as a result of the issues/content addressed in the document

A person is deemed to have a significant interest in a business if the interest represents ownership of ≥ 5% of the voting stock or share of the business entity, or ownership of ≥ $5000 of the fair market value of the business entity; or if funds received by the person from the business entity exceed 5% of the person’s gross income for the previous year. Relationships in this table with no symbol are considered modest (less than significant under the preceding definition). Relationships that exist with no financial benefit are also included for the purpose of transparency. Please refer to http://www.acc.org/guidelines/about-guidelines-and-clinical-documents/relationships-with-industry-policy for definitions of disclosure categories or additional information about the ACC Disclosure Policy for Writing Committees
