Relationships that exist withno financial benefit are also included for the purpose of transparency. Relationships in this table are modest unless otherwise noted. According to the ACC/
AHA, a person has a relevant relationship IF: a) the relationship or interest relates to the same or similar subject matter, intellectual property or asset, topic, orissue addressed in the document; or b) the company/entity (with whom the relationship exists) makes a drug, drug class, or device addressed in the document ormakes a competing drug or device addressed in the document, or c) the person ora 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.
