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.

    Greetings! Quick question that's completely off
    topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?

    My web site looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone.
    I'm trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to fix this problem.
    If you have any recommendations, please share. Appreciate it!

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something that I think
    I would never understand. It seems too complex and very
    broad for me. I'm looking forward for your next post,
    I will try to get the hang of it!
