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.

    Can I simply say what a comfort to uncover a person that truly understands what they are talking about over the internet.

    You certainly realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important.
    More people should check this out and understand this side of your story.

    It's surprising you aren't more popular because you certainly possess the gift.

    Hey there, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your blog in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some
    overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, amazing
    blog!

    Hello there! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against
    hackers? I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on. Any suggestions?

    I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog
    and was curious what all is required to get set up?
    I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% sure.
    Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks

    Howdy would you mind letting me know which webhost
    you're utilizing? I've loaded your blog in 3 completely different browsers and I must say this blog loads
    a lot quicker then most. Can you suggest a good internet hosting provider at a
    fair price? Thank you, I appreciate it!
