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.

    Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post
    seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer.
    I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to
    do with browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you
    know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the
    problem fixed soon. Thanks

    Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a
    sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said
    "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She
    put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was
    a hermit crab inside and it pinched her
    ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

    Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
    I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that,
    this is great blog. A fantastic read. I will certainly be back.

    Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up
    losing several weeks of hard work due to no data backup.
    Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?

    This design is spectacular! You certainly know how to keep
    a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Fantastic job.
    I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that,
    how you presented it. Too cool!
