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.

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but
    I find this topic to be actually 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 will try to get
    the hang of it!

    Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this site.
    It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's
    challenging to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appeal.
    I must say that you've done a awesome job with this. Additionally,
    the blog loads super fast for me on Internet explorer. Outstanding Blog!

    type of info in such an ideal manner of writing? I have
    a presentation next week, and I'm at the look for such info.

    Because the admin of this web site is working, no
    hesitation very soon it will be well-known, due to
    its feature contents.

    An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment. I believe that you
    need to publish more on this issue, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people don't discuss these issues.

    To the next! Many thanks!!

    Please let me know if you're looking for a article writer for your weblog.
    You have some really great posts and I feel I would be
    a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I'd really
    like to write some material for your blog in exchange for a link
    back to mine. Please shoot me an email if interested.
    Cheers!
