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.

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something which I think I
    would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me.
    I'm looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the
    hang of it!

    Do you have a spam issue on this blog; I also am a blogger,
    and I was wondering your situation; many of us have created some nice
    procedures and we are looking to swap solutions with other folks, be sure to shoot
    me an email if interested.

    Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
    The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Chrome.
    I'm not sure if this is a formatting 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 problem fixed soon. Many thanks
