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.

    First of all I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question that I'd like to
    ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and
    clear your head before writing. I've had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out.

    I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems
    like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally
    lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?
    Cheers!

    Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Firefox.
    I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought
    I'd post to let you know. The design and style look great
    though! Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Many thanks
