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.

    First of all I would like to say great blog! I had
    a quick question which I'd like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior
    to writing. I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts
    in getting my ideas out. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the
    first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or
    tips? Kudos!

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