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 am really impressed with your writing skills as well
    as with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it
    yourself? Either way keep up the excellent quality writing,
    it is rare to see a great blog like this one nowadays.

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

    My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.

    I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.

    But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on a
    variety of websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.
    I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all
    my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be
    on the net the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people think about worries that they
    plainly don't know about. You managed to hit
    the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side
    effect , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more.
    Thanks
