What is the ACC/AHA Task Force on Clinical Practice Guidelines?
The ACC/AHA Task Force on Clinical Practice Guidelines (Task Force) is responsible for continuously reviewing, updating, and modifying guideline methodology based on published standards from organizations such as the Institute of Medicine, internal reevaluation, and evolving technologies. The Task Force also strives to ensure that guideline recommendations remain current by evaluating new data on an ongoing basis and commissioning full guideline revisions in approximately 6-year cycles.
