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.

    Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this site.

    It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's challenging to get
    that "perfect balance" between usability and appearance.
    I must say you've done a excellent job with this. Additionally, the blog loads very quick
    for me on Firefox. Outstanding Blog!

    SEO? I'm trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I'm not seeing very good results.

    Having read this I thought it was rather enlightening.

    I appreciate you finding the time and effort to put this content
    together. I once again find myself personally spending way too much time both
    reading and leaving comments. But so what, it was still
    worthwhile!
