Updated guidance issued for maintaining ethics and professionalism in cardiovascular care

Issued today, a new report from the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC) on medical ethics and professionalism addresses important and timely topics in cardiovascular medicine including diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging; racial, ethnic and gender inequities; conflicts of interest; clinician well-being; data privacy; social justice; and modern health care delivery systems. The report is based on the proceedings of the joint 2020 Consensus Conference on Professionalism and Ethics and is published simultaneously in the AHA’s and ACC’s flagship journals Circulation and Journal of the American College of Cardiology, respectively.
