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.

    Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could
    locate a captcha plugin for my comment form? I'm using the
    same blog platform as yours and I'm having problems
    finding one? Thanks a lot!

    Hey there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if
    blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I
    wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously
    appreciated!

    Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I
    guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to everything.

    Do you have any points for newbie blog writers? I'd genuinely appreciate it.
