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.

    Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just
    your articles? I mean, what you say is important and
    everything. Nevertheless think about if you added some great photos or videos to give your posts more, "pop"!
    Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this blog could certainly be one
    of the very best in its field. Wonderful blog!

    I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get setup?

    I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I'm not very web savvy so I'm not 100% sure.
    Any suggestions or advice would be greatly
    appreciated. Appreciate it

    Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of
    the pictures aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why but I
    think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different
    browsers and both show the same outcome.

    Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification appeared
    to be on the net the simplest thing to be aware
    of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries that they just do not know about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could
    take a signal. Will probably be back to get more.
    Thanks
