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! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I
    could find a captcha plugin for my comment form?

    I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having problems
    finding one? Thanks a lot!

    First off I would like to say superb blog! I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
    I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
    I've had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
    I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are
    lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips?
    Kudos!

    This design is wicked! You certainly know how to keep a reader amused.

    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start
    my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Excellent job.
    I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented
    it. Too cool!

    An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a coworker who had been conducting
    a little research on this. And he actually bought me dinner due to
    the fact that I stumbled upon it for him... lol. So let me reword this....

    Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending some time to discuss
    this subject here on your web site.

    Please let me know if you're looking for a article writer
    for your blog. You have some really good articles and I believe I would be a good
    asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I'd love to
    write some articles for your blog in exchange for
    a link back to mine. Please blast me an email if interested.
    Thanks!
