The ACCF/ AHA Task Force on Practice Guidelines chooses to repub-lish the recommendations in this format to provide the complete set of practice guideline recommendations in a single resource. Because this document includes recommendations only, please refer to the respective 2005 and 2011 articles for all introductory and supportive content until the entire full-text guideline is revised. In the future, the ACCF/AHA Task Force on Practice Guidelines will maintain a continuously updated full-text guideline.
