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 believe what you published made a great deal of sense.
    However, think about this, suppose you were to write a awesome headline?
    I am not saying your information isn't solid., however what if you added a
    headline to maybe grab people's attention? I mean IPS Matavén - New guidelines issued for heart transplantation is
    kinda vanilla. You might glance at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create post titles to grab
    viewers to open the links. You might add a related video or a related
    pic or two to get readers interested about what you've got to say.

    Just my opinion, it might make your website a little bit more interesting.
