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'm curious to find out what blog system you're working with?
    I'm having some minor security issues with my latest blog and I
    would like to find something more risk-free. Do you have any recommendations?

    Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren't loading properly.
    I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different browsers and both show the
    same outcome.

    thus he/she wants to be available that in detail, thus
    that thing is maintained over here.
