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'm impressed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that's
    equally educative and interesting, and without a doubt, you've hit
    the nail on the head. The problem is something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently
    about. I'm very happy that I came across this in my hunt for something regarding this.

    Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is valuable and all. However think about if you added some great photos or
    video clips to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this website could certainly
    be one of the best in its niche. Excellent blog!
