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 not sure exactly why but this weblog is loading extremely
    slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my
    end? I'll check back later and see if the problem still exists.

    Hmm it looks like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so
    I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to everything.
    Do you have any points for novice blog writers?
    I'd really appreciate it.

    I'm really loving the theme/design of your web site.
    Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility problems?
    A handful of my blog readers have complained about my website not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Safari.
    Do you have any ideas to help fix this problem?

    I do not even know the way I finished up here, but I assumed this post was once great.

    I do not recognize who you are however certainly you are going to a well-known blogger in the event
    you aren't already. Cheers!

    be book-marking it and checking back often!
