What is the ACC/AHA Task Force on Clinical Practice Guidelines?
The ACC/AHA Task Force on Clinical Practice Guidelines (Task Force) is an organization which continuously reviews, updates, and modifies guideline methodology on the basis of published standards from organizations including the Institute of Medicine, and on the basis of internal reevaluation. The Task Force also strives to ensure that guideline recommendations remain current by reviewing new data on an ongoing basis and commissioning full guideline revisions in approximately 6-year cycles.
