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've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe
    you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything.

    I believe everything said made a ton of sense. However, think on this, what if you added a
    little content? I am not suggesting your content isn't good.,
    however suppose you added something that grabbed a person's attention?
    I mean IPS Matavén - New guidelines issued for heart transplantation is kinda plain. You might peek
    at Yahoo's home page and watch how they create post titles to
    grab viewers to open the links. You might add a related
    video or a related picture or two to get people
    excited about everything've got to say. In my opinion, it could bring your blog a little bit more interesting.
