ACC/AHA 2002 guideline update for exercise testing: summary article A report of the American college of cardiology/American heart association task force on practice guidelines (committee to update the 1997 exercise testing guidelines) 11The ACC/AHA Task Force on Practice Guidelines makes every effort to avoid any actual or potential conflicts of interest that might arise as a result of an outside relationship or personal interest of a member of the writing panel. Specifically, all members of the writing panel are asked to provide disclosure statements of all such relationships that might be perceived as real or potential conflicts of interest. These statements are reviewed by the parent task force, reported orally to all members of the writing panel at the first meeting, and updated as changes occur.22This document was approved by the American College of Cardiology Foundation Board of Trustees in July 2002 and by the American Heart Association Science Advisory and Coordinating Committee in June 2002.
