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.

    Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
    The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Firefox.
    I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do
    with internet browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you
    know. The design and style look great though!

    Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Kudos

    Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic but I'd figured I'd
    ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest
    writing a blog post or vice-versa? My website addresses a
    lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other.
    If you happen to be interested feel free to send me an email.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Fantastic blog by the way!
