What is the American Heart Association's policy on disclosure of potential conflicts of interest?
The American Heart Association (AHA) requires all members of the writing group to complete and submit a Disclosure Questionnaire showing all relationships that may be perceived as real or potential conflicts of interest. This guideline was approved by the American Heart Association Stroke Council Scientific Statement Oversight Committee on January 19, 2021, and the American Heart Association Executive Committee on April 12, 2021.
