Published in The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, the updated guidelines are a result of a collaboration between the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) Heart Failure and Transplantation, Pediatric and Infectious Disease Councils.

Chaired by Dr. Mandeep R. Mehra, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, and medical director of the Heart and Vascular Center at Brigham and Women's Hospital - both in Boston, MA - the revised guidelines for heart transplantation candidacy address some of the issues that have arisen since such guidelines were first put in place in 2006.

One key issue has been heart transplantation eligibility for patients with certain medical conditions; the 2006 guidelines stated that patients with particular illnesses should not be considered for the procedure.

    I have been browsing online more than three hours lately,
    yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is lovely worth
    enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made good content material
    as you did, the web shall be a lot more useful than ever before.

    Superb blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?

    I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a
    little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress
    or go for a paid option? There are so many
    choices out there that I'm completely confused .. Any ideas?
    Thanks a lot!

    When I initially left a comment I appear to
    have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are
    added- checkbox and from now on every time a
    comment is added I recieve four emails with
    the same comment. Perhaps there is an easy method you can remove
    me from that service? Cheers!

    I'm amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across
    a blog that's equally educative and interesting, and without a
    doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue
    is something that too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
    Now i'm very happy I stumbled across this in my hunt for something relating to
    this.
