ACCELERATED SHARE REPURCHASE	9 Months Ended

Equity [Abstract]
ACCELERATED SHARE REPURCHASE	ACCELERATED SHARE REPURCHASE In April 2018, Edwards entered into an accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") agreement to repurchase $400.0 million of the Company's common stock based on the volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company's common stock during the term of the agreement, less a discount. Upon entering into the agreement, Edwards received an initial delivery of 2.5 million shares. The initial shares were valued at $127.36 per share based on the closing price of the Company's stock on the date of the agreement, and represented approximately 80% of the total contract value. In July 2018, the ASR agreement concluded at a VWAP less discount price per share of $142.37, and the Company received an additional 0.3 million shares. The ASR agreement was accounted for as two separate transactions: (a) the value of the initial delivery of shares was recorded as shares of common stock acquired in a treasury stock transaction on the acquisition date and (b) the remaining amount of the purchase price paid was recorded as a forward contract indexed to the Company's own common stock and was recorded in "Additional Paid-in Capital" on the consolidated balance sheets. The initial delivery of shares resulted in an immediate reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company determined that the forward contract indexed to the Company's common stock met all the applicable criteria for equity classification and, therefore, was not accounted for as a derivative instrument.
