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.

    An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment. I think that you need
    to publish more on this topic, it may not be a
    taboo matter but usually people don't discuss such issues.
    To the next! Kind regards!!

    Hello! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which
    blog platform are you using for this site? I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers
    and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the
    direction of a good platform.

    Great blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?

    A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog jump out.
    Please let me know where you got your theme.
    Kudos
