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.

    The best part? It's incredibly user-friendly. Navigating through the site is a breeze, and you can uncover amazing deals without the usual hassle. The customer service is also exceptional, which makes the experience even better.

    If you’re planning any travel soon, I highly recommend giving http://www.findbookingdeals.com a try. It simplifies the process of finding the perfect accommodation, allowing you to focus on enjoying your trip. Trust me, it’s worth checking out!

    I'm impressed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that's
    both educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
    The problem is something too few people are speaking intelligently about.
    Now i'm very happy that I found this during my
    search for something relating to this.

    Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had
    written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still
    new to the whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for beginner blog writers?

    I'd definitely appreciate it.
